Although it came early to an address or two yesterday, Apple’s “magical” tablet is today officially available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.
Reports from many of these countries mention long lines in front of stores, with some fans even spending the night in front of an Apple store to be one of the first to buy an iPad.
This seems to be especially true for Japan, where the iPhone is by far the most popular smartphone on the market, and initial interest predicts a similar fate for iPhone’s big brother.
According to recent reports, the iPad is sold out at most Apple stores, and some estimates say that Apple is selling 200,000 iPads per week. If this first day of international sales is any indication, Apple’s biggest problem in the following months concerning the iPad will be ensuring it has enough devices in stock.
