Customers lined up for hours for China’s iPad 2 launch
Apple launched the iPad 2 in China with only its Wi-Fi models. Customers could, however, choose between white or black, just like in other countries.
Customers in China can order the iPad 2 online through Apple’s Web site, too, although ship times are currently delayed between one and two weeks.
Scalpers were ready to take advantage of iPad 2 demand, too. Several waited outside the Apple Store to buy just-purchased iPads from customers with plans to resell the devices once local inventories were depleted.
Apple launched the iPad 2 in the United States a few weeks ago, then slowly began rolling the device out in other countries. Last week, Apple introduced the iPad 2 in Japan, India, and several other countries.
