US To Get Apple Ipad On 3rd April, International Ships Later This Year
Two days ago, Apple has announced that it’s much awaited Apple iPad, which will available in the US on 3rd of April for the Wifi model, followed by 3G model on late April, with pre-book beginning on 12-March-2010.
Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK will have all iPad models on late April as well. International pricing will be announce late of April, and the shipment to other countries will be announced later of the year.
While iPad is available in the US through it’s online store, authorized resellers and partners, it still unknown how iPad will be distributed on other countries not on the list above. Would it stick to the same method of selling iPhone through carriers, or would it available in Apple online store and authorized resellers? Does carriers currently selling iPhone will have the right to sell iPad as well?
That’s is the question no one can answer right now, unless you can fast forward the times to probably 2-4 months ahead.
I’m personally not an Apple fan but my husband is. He’s rather determined to be one of the first iPad owners in Malaysia. Regular checks at the Mac stores, I believe they should be open for pre-booking by the end of the month.
Nevertheless, if local availability takes awhile, he would most likely purchase it abroad, since he travels a lot for work.
The problem with ipad is that it has no multitasking capability.
Atleast apple should add that feature if they want to capture the netbook market.
