iPad go International

The long wait outside US for the iPad is over, officially. (Hey, forget all those parallel imports)

Apple said the iPad will be in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK on May 28 and then Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore in July. Those who can't wait (well, you define for yourself) can pre-order starting May 10. Sounds great.

Here is the official statement.
