International iPad release pushed back to "late May," pre-orders start May 10

How can Philippines have iPads the same launch date as US? They have been selling there like hotcakes???

As above, look at the positive side by the time it reaches
any non-American country there will be software updates that will be (hopefully) incorporated in the newly shipped ipads , and also as above the Dollar is getting weaker against various other currencies so the cost may go down which probably won't happen,shipping may be a problem if flown in due to the volcanic ash problem in Europe :(

Apple, your iPad delay has blown it for me. I'm going HP Slate

i'm selling mine at 999 and will ship worldwide if interested. 64GB version. brand new condition as well. damodt@gmail.com is email if interested. thanks.... waiting on the 3G version in the states.

Same goes to Japan as well..more waiting!

Just wait a little longer. No big deal.

Just to add that in iTunes, I have three panes, one showing "iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Apps", the next pane is "iPhone, iPod touch Apps" and the third pane reads "iPad Apps".

Each pane is already populated with apps in the three categories, all purchased through the UK AppStore.

I have been eagerly awaiting the release of iPad in the UK, and have already downloaded several iPad-only apps from the UK AppStore, along with some universal apps, which are already on the iPhone.

I am now trying to get an iPad directly from the US and I am assuming that if/when I sync my US-sourced iPad with my UK-based Mac that it will do so without any problems.

The only apps I do not expect to have until the official UK launch will be the iWork trio and iBooks.

In Switzerland, the iPad will be available as well in late may with pre-orders starting may, 10th.

I sent this tip in to TUAW as soon as I saw it and low and behold 20 minutes later there is an article with no credit to my 'accidental stumbling before anyone else by chance skills'. No fair! lol
