I studied abroad in Oz from February to July of this year, and I will say the exchange rate definitely has improved much. So that too.
Got a tip for us?

I guess supplies aren't that plentiful in Hong Kong.

Apple needs to stop doing everything and concentrate on getting me a new iPad Mini. Time to put that old nexus out to pasture and get a real mini tablet.
I don't know why Apple has not included wifi ac and the 5s camera with flash. May be next year when I'm due to sell my iPad 4 and upgrade.
Sounds like there was less stock in Hong Kong than the rest of the world. Seems orders started at 1-2 weeks dispatch. Now they've sold out...
----------
The iPad mini with Retina Display will not be available to order until 'later in November'. Rumours pointing to November 21st. Probably so they've got another month to build units and stock pile them. Sounds like stock is going to be tight so this would be a way to counteract that slightly.

In the Asia and Pacific regions. - Note the correction here.
No racism please. I know this is a US based website but I am sure you understand the different regions of the world. I don't lump the US people with Canada/Mexico and others. I give the US people the curtesy they deserve.
So in return can you also give us (the people in the Asian and Pacific regions) the same curtesy.
[edit] On an unrelated topic. Only non Australians, call Australia - Oz. Australians say Aus or Aussie or Australia. My point being, it's easy to tell the Australians from the non-Australians.
Purposefully not recognising two regions of the world as the separate entities they are is wrong. Hope you can see it now.
And it's not the first time they've done this recently.

Oh give me a b.r.e.a.k. Are you that sensitive that even common sense and recognized regions make you cry. Look, the U.S. is linked with Canada and Mexico regionally; it's called North America. Likewise the Asian-Pacific Rim is a real thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia-Pacific_Economic_Cooperation
Bit of a long way to go for me to get 15% cheaper in Hong Kong 
.. oh well..
Since the iPad Air is soo dam light anyway, save the fuel on planes, and let these float to your doorstep...
May as well...
With any luck, you may get it much sooner with the wind.

The Asia-Pacific region is a REAL region. I don't understand why you think referring to the region so is a problem. If I wanted to talk about that region, what do you expect me to refer to it as the "Japan, China, Indonesia, Guam, et etc region?" No. Just like in the US where people on the East Coast will say "oh you're a West Coaster" or vice versa. It's not racism in any way. It's called regional identification.
That hasn't been my experience. I have Australian friends who say "Oz" when referring to their homeland.
"Racism is generally defined as actions, practices, or beliefs that consider the human species to be divided into races with shared traits, abilities, or qualities, such as personality, intellect, morality, or other cultural behavioral characteristics, and especially the belief that races can be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to others, or that members of different races should be treated differently."
It's because in HK, Apple allowed people to register on Wednesday morning for in-store pickup today, so effectively preorder. That's what I did and will pick up my new 128GB Space Grey Wifi + Cellular model today
Woot! Just ordered myself a 64GB White/Silver Wi-Fi iPad Air. Super excited.
I sold my iPad 3 when I knew the iPad 4 was coming out, only to not buy a 4 because it really didn't provide much more than the 3. So I'm looking forward to finally having my own iPad again instead of stealing my wife's 3 or my son's 2!
