iPad Hits the Rest of the World on May 28, Almost
Some of you will still be without iPad local buying possibilities until July.
The iPad's been out in the U.S. for over a month now, and today we learn when the rest of the world will be getting theirs.
Apple today announced that iPad will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK on Friday, May 28. Customers can pre-order all iPad models from Apple’s online store in all nine countries beginning on Monday, May 10.
Sadly, those of you who are lusting after Apple's "magical" product and live in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore will have to wait until July. Ouch.

Another Apple update... And useless too... /sigh
Yay more free advertising for a company with no morals (not that they want us to think that), great stuff

Shame that i will have to buy one for my mum grrr lol
The fits gonna hit the shan when Jane hears about this!
I'm glad we got our daily Apple plug in, but no mention of the Archos Android tablet releasing in June for only $199? Odd.
Exactly what I said when PCWORLD came out with this article:
Not buying one, will never buy one. I'm not going to let Apple steal my money, sadly the average Joe only cares about something that is shiny and that's what Apple specialize in. In my family, soon as I hear anyone wanting an Apple product, I come up with a better solution for them that saves money for them while giving them something better.
People should really learn some of the basics about computers and once the populace find out how much their being ripped off for "shiny", Apple will file a bankrupt claim within the month.
Really? Can we let this thing die already?

Nope, I live in North America now. Also, you're assuming I'd ever pay €500 for an iPad in the first place! Whatever about $500 being overpriced, €500? Puhlease!
The ipad is available in Mexico except at Apple store….
I know a lot of people are buying them. I'm not sure why.

Because it's shiny and obviously for the average Joe

-stabs said average Joe-
The default page on Tom's should be without Apple (product announcements are OK since they are hardware) but telling us minuscule details about an already released product isn't right. Other companies don't get that type of attention.
I like apple but I don't come to Tom's for Apple. Maybe if we stop commenting? Don't know!
Lets see....... Overgrown iPod Touch or wait for Moorestown which offers full 1080P HD.......
Not sure who would go with the iPad since Moorestown will create better products.
I was a virgin until I recently bought an ipad - girls look at me differently now, with somewhat of a sparkle in their eye. I've had sex 4 times times now since the original Ipad release! I'm ready for international punanny!
