Again Don't be disappointed if you are not residing in the above mentioned countries too, Apple Inc has follow on plan to roll out its iPad to additional nine countries such as Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Nethelands, new Zealand as well as Singapore by July, which is another two months from now. However, its pricing and pre-order date is still unknown at this moment.I am surprised that there is no mention of when India would be getting orders.

If you think Apple has been sell the iPads then you are wrong as recently Apple reached another miracle of selling more than one million units of iPad after less than a month of official release in its own country and the sale figure will continue to grow once it is opened to other geographic area in Europe and APAC countries, regardless if the suggested retail pricing is slightly higher than its original official selling price in US region.Actually the date of international launch would be much sooner but thanks to unexpected demand in the US made the delay by a month or so.
