The iPad 2 is already delayed in Australia and New Zealand
If you want to get your hands on an iPad 2 on the international launch day, you’d better go sleep outside an Apple Store. Thanks to the wonders of time difference, it is already tomorrow, March 24th in Australia and New Zealand, and the online Apple Store is already experiencing delays.
All 12 models went on sale at 1AM this morning (or tomorrow morning — I’m a little confused) and all 12 will ship in two to three weeks. That’s pretty much the same amount of time as you’ll have to wait in the U.S.
It seems that Apple just can’t make enough of these things, and is selling as many as it can force manufacturer Foxconn to pump out of its Chinese factories. I’m pretty sure that its selling faster than the original iPad did last year, but I still doubt that it has shifted one million units in the first weekend as some sold “analysts” have guessed — if it had, wouldn’t Apple be bragging about it already? Still, at this rate, we should probably expect the iPad 2 to hit the million mark in less than the 28 days it took the first version.
I will likely be heading over to Barcelona’s new Apple Store tomorrow afternoon, but I’m really in no rush. After all, my existing iPad still works fine, even if it now looks as fat and ugly as Ben Grimm. If any of you are going to be at the Barcelona store, come and say hi. I’ll be the handsome one on crutches.
