Supposedly it's an inventory issue that Nvidia is working on. They've jumped up $100 in price over the past few days. Should come back down within a week or so.
Finally ordered my P4, Now which tablet/Ipad??

Well decided to just go with the shield for now (just ordered). I'm also going to get an Apple product just not sure which one yet, that way I can try both platforms. The shield is cheap so leaves my options open for the ipad in the near future.

Can't find one in the UK but have been offered a chance to pre-order one for delivery mid May - not clear though if it is a wifi only or wifi and 3G version - do they make both or are they all 3G and wifi ?

From what I hear you do not. I asked the same question regarding the ipads (cellular) and you still get GPS with no sim card or provider. I couod be wrong, hopefully someone who has one can chime in?

I have an iPad 4 wi fi model - if I connect this to the P4 I get the 'no gps' message - only when I tether it to my iPhone via personal hotspot do I get GPS - could do with some clarification here before I shell out on a new tablet that may offer nothing more than what I have now

The iPad wifi versions do not include gps, only the cellular versions do. The Nvidia Sheild has gps in all versions plus has hdmi out.

That is correct, the P4 has follow me, just like the P3 does, which requires GPS, but and this is just my opinion after using Active Track, I wouldn't need follow me because mine appears to work well. just my opinion though.
I'm with you, I use the nvidia shield k1 with my p3a and never ever fail, slowdown or anything, is a beast! Love that little tablet s
I use a samsung tab a and its good has good gps for home point
