Whereas the American consumers watch for the arrival of the iPad 3G which will be officially available on Friday April 30, the European fans of the mark to apple will have to wait to be able to put the hand on the first WiFi specimens which will reach the old continent at the end of May.
The main reason evoked to justify such a delay is the “particularly keen demand” of the tactile shelf on the American interior market (500.000 apparatuses sold since April 3). An argument which resembles a string marketing intended to rather cause the passion with international than with an attempt at serious explanation.
Many rumours floated on the delays with repetition of the iPad, between problem of design (the iPad combines elements provided by South Korean Samsung, Japanese Toshiba, American Broadcom and by hongkongais Amperex Technology, on a level of complexity exceeding by far that of the iPhone*), difficulties of production (the factory Foxconn de Longhua in China where the iPad are produced whole world had problems with the imposed production paces **), but to deprive Apple fan Europeans under pretext of initially want to satisfy the American domestic demand does not correspond so that one can wait on behalf of a company like Apple.
The firm of Cupertino thus created an in-draught in which many retailers were engulfed, and one found the iPad in China thus the week even of his American exit, whereas the exit in this country was not validated yet by Apple and that no support is envisaged ***. In France, Apple Fans will be able to turn to the platforms of sale on line: iPad WIFI 16 go, iPad WIFI 32 go and iPad WIFI 64 go are sleep and already available to the sale for the impatiens which could not endure an additional carryforward of exit.
