Next Round of International iPad Launches Set for July 23rd

[simon the diver]

is it just me or does anyone else think its lunacy....

is it just me or does anyone else think its lunacy to launch in more countries when you cant get hold of them in the ones it already launched in

unless you want a wifi one

my friend was suppose to be picking me one up in germany and bringing it out to Egypt where i'm working - its at least a 10 day wait on ordering there.

and when i left the uk a few weeks ago same problem.

it would have been better to wait for the supply chain to catch up before launching in the uk and bits of europe . to expand further now seems like its just going to be more of the same frustration for another group of people.

FFS apple don't try to run before you can walk. wait until you have enough product to sell b4 you dangle your shiny baubles in our faces

Haha that cracked me up for reasons i cannot say! Actually quite innocent ones, but wouldn't sound that way on a forum lol

Im sure if Apple did a promo video of the most common application that FaceTime will be used for then it would probably not attract the kind of customer base it was originally aiming for ... probably!

I Don't think a camera will work in iPad because can you really imagine yourself holding 1.5 pounds in the air. it can't be flat on the table otherwise you will need to bend over and the case doesn't elevate it much.

HK apple store not updated yet, only contains a list of authorized resellers.

and... there is no signs that the iPad to be sold on 23/7 contains Traditional Chinese support that most population uses daily. need to wait another few months until iPad iOS 4 update for that?

I'm not seeing the problem, I go down the gym and could hold that sucker all day long I have some friends, genuine friends nothing seedy, who live in NZ and Cali, so it would be very handy to be able to see them when chatting etc

Go to apple HK's site, and hit the ipad tab on top, the cost is HKD $3,888 and available from 23rd of July.

Im so glad Im in HK now so I dont need to pay the UK premium price.

I know I know... but not able to order one through on-line Apple Store and must buy through resellers.

I suspect there will be very few quantity available, and wonder how many people can actually get one on 23/7.

Soooo, apps are stagnant for the iPad... If anyone has this epic idea for an app, just let me know

Nah, great to see that it finally launches. When is the iPhone 4 coming by the way, I read something about 30th July? I hope to see these authorized resellers demoing an iPad (because they aren't demoing any iPhones in Belgium -I know there are iPod Touches on display and that they're basically the same thing, except for the phone part, but still; it's retarded-). I'm visiting NYC next month so with a bit of luck I can try both devices out!

Finally!!! I live in Mexico and I would be able to buy a legal iPad! , I been throgh a lot to get one!

I just hope that an international iPhone pre-order will accompany the iPads. Nice to see that we're finally getting them after about three delays!

Where will you get it? I live in Mexico to

 

[lamadude]

Where is Denmark?

It's on a peninsula and a series of islands in Northern Europe. I would have thought you would know that since you live there!

I'm not so happy it gets released here in Belgium btw, I'm trying hard not to buy one and get the Rev B since I hope that one would include a front facing camera for Facetime/Skype.

I think I wil get it on the iShop, I hope they have it there on Friday, I actually like to order things from the apple online store, but it would be like 10 days before they ship it, etc, so I think Ill have to buy it on iShop.

Pricing in México

Pricing in México is $7,498.00 pesos, that´s pretty much exactly $499 USD plus VAT.

So far fair business here in Mexico.

For you but I just couldn't hold it and talk. An iPhone 4 is soo much better for that sort of thing. I mean walk and talk fat chance, both of your hands would be full
