I've changed the thread title to reflect the fact that it is only available in the USA on 3rd April.

This seems to confirm that it may be a while before iPad owners outside the US can use it as an eReader (or will they be able to open non-DRM books with other apps)? Graham Last edited by Graham; 03-05-2010 at 11:44 AM. |

Supposedly, already existing apps in the app store (Stanza, erearder, etc) will work on the iPad.

I still don't quite understand this logic
* 16GB WiFi only -- $499 * 32GB WiFi only -- $599 * 64GB WiFi only -- $699 * 16GB WiFi + 3G -- $629 * 32GB WiFi + 3G -- $729 * 64GB WiFi + 3G -- $829 Why produce/carry so many price points/sku's ? isnt that really cumbersome and logistically much more problematic? It would seem simpler to produce and supply the stores etc with just 2 sku's- 16GB wifi only and 16GB wifi+3g and put an SDHC slot in them. |

I live in China about an hour from where Apple makes their products (or so I have been told; still have to check it out) yet it won't be available here or in Hong Kong until later this year. I wonder if I pay a visit to the area I can find a willing employee?

I will be pleased when it is released. Not because I want one, but because of the effect it will have on the computer industry. Within a few years there will be many choices for the consumer as other companies rush to compete... it's good for all.

Their profits are better on the more expensive models and 32GB is probably going to end up being the most popular model, but also including the 16GB models allows them to advertise a lower starting price for the range.

This is going to sound incredibly mean, but I hope the iPad fails miserably. It seems like Jobs has gotten to the point where he thinks he can put anything out and it will just sell. And I'm not a disgruntled PC owner . . . I have an iPhone, an iPod, and I just got a MacBook Pro. He just needs to be taken down a peg.
