According to xe.com that is £307.
Now add 20% for VAT and you get to £368.
Yep.

Umm, that's for the iPad1 - they've been reduced pending arrival of the new shiny...

Agreed; I'd be astonished (but pleased) to see any price cut due to currency fluctuations, but who knows - maybe they'll take it as an opportunity to drop the 16Gb WiFi model to £399 instead of £429 <shrug> Guess we'll find out on Friday
