If it's unboxed, & has no receipt with it, it should be safe from HMRC I'd think...
I agree , just need to make sure it can't be tied to the holiday , i have a retired customs officer in the family , the amount of people that used to travel back from America with brand new golf clubs saying they had taken them out with them from the uk only to have the reciept found in their wallet .

Back on topic , i believe the ipad plays video at 720p , i have aquired 'Avatar' in 720p in mkv format , how would i go about putting this on when i get my ipad? i have tried to import it to itunes but the options seem to be limited for video now ??
