iPad-Mini-07.pngAnd to think the Twitter masses were calling the iPad Mini too expensive! Just a few hours after going up for pre-order in the UK, Apple have already sold out of the £269 entry-level iPad Mini.

Those hoping to get the 16GB Wi-Fi only model of the 7.9 inch tablet are now being told they’ll have to wait at least two weeks beyond the initial November 2nd launch date to see their orders fulfilled.

Those after 32GB and 64GB, as well as Wi-Fi + cellular variants can still grab a pre-order that’ll be delivered on November 2.

It seems the premium over competitors like the Google Nexus 7 (and £100 over the Kindle Fire HD) hasn’t put off consumers, many of whom see the iPad brand as synonymous with tablet devices.

  • Ah, just to point out that the Dutch store was showing a two week delivery date for all models in the first five minutes. I suspect that the November 2 delivery date was just for a token few devices, and possibly only in a few countries.
