Are you an international iPad owner?

[ImperialX]

Hello from New Zealand!

I grabbed mine from the USA, got relatives living there. Can't be happier with it.

Sweden.

Spent last week in New York on vacation, picked up a 32GB at the 5th Ave store on April 5th including the Apple case and dock. It's a beauty.

Now if Apple could just release an update with more international keyboards and open up the app store for non-US accounts (using workaround through itunes atm), everything would be perfect.

Hello from Singapore.

Now should be in Singapore. Delivery man not working during weekend. So I expected mine on Monday.

Can't wait!!!

Hello from Thailand

iPads in the local tech shops here within 3 days after the launch; don't know how they do it! About $180 premium, but if I wait it may be months before we see them officially.

Hong Kong.

My friend brought the 64GB version back for me from US.

 

[MrMorden]

I thought you needed a US billing address.

I used to live the US, and I have kept my US credit card.

An interesting fact: a big department store called Siman announced they were the first in Guatemala to carry ipads starting yesterday. How, I have no idea.

[tinksmac]

Bahrain, paid too much for the 32g, but it's worth it

 

[ggordonliddy]

Minimize VAT?

What are you UK guys doing about the VAT? Special way to fill out customs form?

One more in Argentina

I happened to be in Miami, FL on launch day. Got a 32gb from Best Buy, plus the Apple case from the Apple store in Miami beach that same Saturday in the afternoon. It was a great companion for my 8 hour flight back to Buenos Aires. I haven't touched my Macbook Pro since !!!
