Apparently Pocket-lint has reported that flagship stores such as Tottenham Court Road will begin selling the new iOS tablet as of 12:01AM, which is 8-hours ahead of Apple stores, although Apple stores in the UK will begin selling at 8:00AM.

If you are planning on hitting up Tesco to pick up the new iPad, it appears that Tesco have removed the new iPad from their website, and when contacted a recorded message revealed that due to high demand for the new iPad, the company is unable to provide specific stock info.

John Lewis will offer the new iPad online as of 12:01AM today but will only have limited stock, and will offer the slate from 9:30AM in stores.

Apparently Argos will also offer the new iPad but can’t be ordered online, but apparently have stock ready for when they open today ew iPad, Tesco can’t provide specific stock info.
