UK networks T-Mobile and Orange to offer iPad 2, O2 a no-no
|

Apple's recently announced iPad 2 will be available on newly merged UK mobile networks T-Mobile and Orange, otherwise known as Everything Everywhere.

This was confirmed on Twitter shortly after Steve Jobs's announcement by Conor Maples, a PR manager for Orange UK. He tweeted, “Everything Everywhere (Orange & T-mobile) will be selling the iPad 2 in the UK once it’s made available later this month! Hurrah!”

Pricing and plan information is yet to be revealed.

O2 will not be offering the device, despite being Apple's preferred network for the initial release of the iPhone. It will, however, provide data tariffs.

The operator said in a statement: “We continue to offer great value, flexible data tariffs for iPad 2 and the unique ability to manage these tariffs on the device itself. In addition to our award winning mobile broadband service, customers also benefit from unlimited Wi-Fi at thousands of The Cloud and BT Openzone hotspots."

Vodafone and Three are yet to release an official statement, but with the arrival of the iPad 2 just around the corner these will presumably follow shortly.

The iPad 2 will be rolled out across Europe on March 25th at the same price as the current model.
