Oooops - a little American friend of mine is home and her sister asked her would she bring her an IPAD - American said all kinds of things like you have to activate the IPAD before entering a plane. You have to pay "her lingo" "all kinds of monies".
I know her very well and something is not right there. Time will tell - she is home for some time. Thanks Eccles for clarifying that.
Surely it could be re-registered even if the initial purchaser registers it to their own name, otherwise how do people manage when they buy secondhand ipads?
Yes, it will work in the UK. It would have to have some battery life to be brought into an aircraft - it doesn`t have to be registered but it could be plugged into a power socket for a while before the flight. Alternatively, it could be put into the hold but I wouldn`t put anything valuable in the hold.
Chargers make no difference. I take my tablet all over the world and it works with all voltages - that`s what it`s designed to do. The only difference is that some voltages (120 etc) take longer to charge the battery than others. If the plug is a problem you just buy a UK one.
