UK pricing is pretty much the same as usual - take the US price in dollars, convert to pounds at the current exchange rate, add VAT (US prices don't include sales tax) and round up to the next convenient price point. You're not going to save much with a grey import.
iOS 4.2 isn't just 4.1 for the iPad. There were two additions in particular that were mentioned. The first is printing direct from iPad apps (something that is a bit of an oversight currently). The second is AirPlay, Apple's name for their media push technology that lets you stream from the iPad to other devices (for example you can transfer playback of a movie from the iPad to an Apple TV).
On the subject of Apple TV he omitted to mention that it also plays NetFlix video, as well as the obligatory YouTube, and that $4.99 was the rental price of a newly released HD title. Older releases are promised to be cheaper (just like video rentals) and you can still steam content from your desktop machine. The $99 price tag is pretty much in line with (or better than) the competition so I can't see what he has to complain about there.
Poor Steve, hes out of luck if he want to call it iTV (the UK broadcaster ITV already has that trademark) and also ATV (also owned by the Anglia-TV/ITV group)
Now that Apple's competitors have caught up with the notion that form is more important than function, as long as it is grossly overpriced and a bit girly, what is Jobs going to announce next? How about an IPad nano-reception in pink and lilac with a discount brown paper bag to put over your head for only £399?
to put a negative spin on things as usual.
