Amazon.de taking Apple iPad preorders (UPDATE: They’re gone)


Amazon.de taking Apple iPad preorders (UPDATE: They’re gone)

UPDATED: see belowiPad_amazon

Here’s an odd one… While Apple is yet to accept preorders on the iPad, Amazon’s German site is happily taking them.

Props to The Inquisitr for spotting that Amazon.de is offering all six varieties of the device at prices ranging from €499 to €829. From what we can see, no other Amazon site is currently listing the device.

Supposedly, the device will ship in 2-3 months, tying in with what we’ve been hearing elsewhere. While Amazon.de is perfectly reputable, we’ll be holding out for the official Apple preorder announcement.

UPDATE: Looks like someone at Amazon flipped a switch a bit too soon. Thanks to the commenter below who spotted that the Amazon’s iPad preorders are now gone. Looks like you’ll have to hold out for official word from Cupertino on this one, folks!
