Apple has announced that the second generation of the iPad tablet will go on sale in Malaysia from April 29, 2011 onwards (it’s this Friday!), together with 10 additional countries including Hong Kong, India, Israel, Korea, Macau, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey and UAE. Also today, the iPad 2 has made it’s debut in Japan.
Previously, it took almost 7 months (yes, a very long wait) for the first version of the iPad tablet to hit the stores in Malaysia. This time around, it takes only a little over a month after the Apple iPad was first launch in the U.S. So no reason for Apple fans to feel unhappy, right?
As for the local pricing, please take a look at the Apple iPad 2 pricing structure, courtesy of Machines.
