    Nothing that could be considered really great in the new Ipad 2.
    So much rumor, so little truth.

    when iPad 2 launches in India, the iPad 3 will arrives……

    Dear Apple Management:

    1) I thought all apple products are made in Asia excluding japan?
    – So why arent asia getting the launch first?

    2) Did apple management just throw a dart and it happens to land in all Europe except for aust and Japan?

    99% white countries, who would have thought?

    We all know what happens if products are launched in India and China. They are the big grey markets which can create the biggest piracy to any product either software or hardware. China still is a considerable leap ahead with its deals since it sells internally to all its customers with a little respect to the buyer.

    Well as long as the grey markets continue launch of new products in these markets is always a challenge since you also need to take care of the effort of your employees and their livelihood. Some economics with sense and respect for the inventors and hardworkers.

    I guess they need some countries to dump their old devices, in this case the remaining old iPads need to be sold somewhere. If they release iPad 2 in countries like India or China, where else will they dump the iPad 1s? And look at the price of old iPad in India; almost double the price of the new iPad in US!

    It’s indeed sad that more progressive Asian countries like Malaysia, SIngapore, China, Taiwan, India (whose brains probably developed all the Apple technologies!!) and such!

    Come on, Apple, Asians made your equipments – do the right thing and launch the iPad 2 in this region at the same time!

  • Slickdrums

    And what’s really painful is countries like Iceland (for cryin’ out loud, seriously?!), Czech Republic (oh, come on!) and Mexico (what, for the drug cartels?) are getting their slice of the action when developing countries in Asia are not.

    What loony discussion making!

  • HHHHHH

    COMMON APPLE!!U HAVE TO RELEASE IN INDIA!!I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY U WANT TO SHY AWAY FROM EXTRA SALES.UR BEST CHANCE TO EARN MAXIMISED REVENUE IS THROUGH INDIA!!WE ARE WAITING DESPERATELY FOR IPAD2!!THAT IS WHY WE HAVE TO SOUGHT FOR DESPERATE MEASURES SUCH AS GREY MARKET FOR BUYING NEW APPLE PRODUCTS.WHY DONT U RELEASE PRODUCTS ONTIME AND ELIMINATE THE GREY MARKET!!

  • sam

    hey dude.. can u stop giving some ..shit economics lecture.. i know some of it tooo n better then u…

  • Miko

    Shouldn’t China be included in the list too ? Since most of Apple’s gadgets are designed in California and assembled in China..
    And out of all the Asian countries. Japan? Common, Apple…

  • Tom

    f**k apple!!
    I won’t purchase any apple product ever!
    Except for looks, they aren’t really good for anything for the price they come up.. and by the time they come up in India, a newer version of the product is available there in US.

    So its better to go of with other companys’ products…

    I would really give a thumbs up for samsung galaxy tab!

    it is a proven fact that Apple has never considered India a strong market. What a pity.
    Apple’s strategy to launch their iPad 1 a month before the launch of iPad 2 only shows that apple has no understanding of the Indian consumer.

  • Anku

    Indian market is not that big as compared to other countries listed out there. That’s the reason apple dont launch such products first in our country.
    And the second reason is the easy availability of these products in our country via grey market, which not not there in many of the Europe countries.

    And when did apple started targeting every segment of the consumer in the market for their products? They always target a class of market and price their product accordingly. So no need to blame them for their high price; its simply not for you.

  • Zerocool

    I didn’t know the population in Europe is greater than the Asia?

    Apple what the hell are you thinking…..?????

    Isn’t it time you ship to Asia first for god sake!!!

    Steve Jobs, I think it’s time you think BIG for Asia.

    We are after all buying more iPads than the whole of USA and Europe combine……don’t make us hate you and boycott Apple products as one day the Asians will turn their backs on you. Be considered. Launching to several Asians countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Taiwan, India, Thailand will make your product grow faster than ever…….we are after all far crazier than the Western countries…..

    Hey guys hurray!, Apple has already launched its ipad2 in India…checkout its India website its showing “Buy Now” instead of “Notify me”.Finally apple has shown some loyalty to Indians,waited so long…after ipad1
    Apple is slowly realizing Indian markets and its importance..though late but don’t worry…Apple now should not launch iphone 4 in India as its of no use as iphone 5 is on its way,far better than iphone 3 & 4..

  • Ankur

    have you clicked on that link to follow?
    That link is from there since ipad 1 launched in india. There is no ipad 2 launch in India.

  • saurabh soni

    IPAD 2 is not launced in India yet , the buy now option doesnt works, but indeed its a good sign that it will be launched in very near future , ipad 2 is already selling in India online through various wesites like fashionandyou.com , dealsandyou.com and ebay.in at much more higher prices but with bill and warranty .So i suggest to wait till its offically launced in India coz it will be avalable at a much more cheaper price like in 40k you will get ipad2 32 GB WiFi model .
