No difference to the iPad itself.
However the charger will come with the adaptor on the left
All you need do is either get hold of the adaptor on the right (expensive), or just use a standard figure of 8 cable (sky boxes use them, maplin sell them) and plug it into the charger. Most people have them lying around.

An ipad 3 charging via USB would take about a week to charge (im exaggerating, but the iPad charger is a special 10W one)
Something like this would work. Be quite handy too.

as for the plug thing,
get one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005RLJ57G/?tag=cliospnet01-21
it fits snug in the power brick and it looks genuine OEM and added benefit is that you have more length so you can use your ipad while it is charging

excuse the plug, the dog chewed it, unfortunately it wasn't plugged in, it might of taught him something

Its not £3 its £7. But yes not bad.
I have suggested it already. But nobody takes notice unless you post a picture.

I've bought my last 2 from the states. My parents were over there last week, so they picked a new 32gb wifi in black for me. Once it's all done and dusted you'll save pretty much £60 compared to UK prices. That's including tax.

Yeah you can change it
Is this tax applied when you purchase the goods? like a VAT?

So if I bought the adaptor on the right there would then be no difference?

Defiantly the the new iPad.
What more do you want me to explain? I paid for it back in March when I initially posted in here and asked about tax. She bought 2 new iPads. One for me and one for her boyfriend. She didn't pay any additional tax. I transferred her £316.54 which at the time was $499...

I was attacking Si, not you mate.
We didn't pay tax. Jhez lol
Can you ask her how she avoided paying it? Would be useful to know.
if you mail order it from certain states this is tax free , some states have no sales tax at all (oregon)
the sales tax laws,and the difference state to state, and some having none, is the whole reason mail order started as when ordering between states it was always tax free .
this still applies but only in certain states , and is a reason a huge amount of the camera shops (bhp being one of the largest ) operate from NY .
i have just bought a Go pro HD2 fro the US price of £200 for the motorsport kit via a uk concession that ships them straight in ....
there are lots of ways to avoid the sales tax and buy straight from the usa without travelling there , there are even companies that sort out the fact alot of US online companies only accept US credit/debit cards .
