The rest of the world is finally getting a look at the new iPad 2 from Apple(and if you’re lucky, a chance to buy one!) after the initial launch of the device was more than a success in the US two weeks ago.
CNET had a story from London:
“This is my first time doing it, and I can say I’m going to do it for every single product,” said Craig Fox, who withstood a 25-hour wait by arriving at 4 p.m. yesterday. Fox was near the head of a line of hundreds who came to Apple’s store at Oxford Circus here to buy the second-generation tablet. He and Ben Paton, one spot ahead, agreed the company of fellow linemates was the highlight–though Apple’s free bottled water and overnight security staff helped keep up spirits, too.
Reuters had a story today showing the different prices of iPad 2 in different countries. While the new tablet costs $499 for the 16GB WiFi only model in the US, the same version will cost a person in Denmark the equivalent of $702 in Denmark. In most other European countries, the equivalent cost is about $678. England is enjoying a slightly lower cost with a cost equivalent to $642 USD for the 16GB WiFi only iPad 2.
