More than half (54 percent) of Brits will consider buying Apple's iTablet, says VoucherCodes.
Research by the online discounts site regarding the highly anticipated, and yet still unconfirmed, product from Apple revealed that of those 54 percent, just two percent would purchase the device immediately, with 14 percent admitting they will wait to Apple irons out any bugs.

The research also highlighted that 49 percent of Brits think the device would be more desirable if it offered gaming capabilities.
