iPad To Be Launched In Nine More Countries

In a new release issued earlier today, Apple just announced that the iPad will be released to nine other countries this coming Friday, the countries included are Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore. Customers in these countries will be able to purchase the hot selling tablet through Apple’s retail stores and authorized resellers.

This availability should only add to the fast sales growth of the tablet. Apple state that as of June, the device had sold 3 million iPads in 80 days. At that time, Apple also reported that 11,000 iPad apps were available for the device. On May 31, Apple also reported that it had sold 2 million iPad, showing that the company has sold one million more tablet gadgets in less than a month.

Apple only started shipping iPads to customers in other countries outside the United States in late May. There’s no doubt that iPads are flying off the shelves, as Apple sold a million devices in less than 30 days.

It will be interesting to see how many iPads have been sold in the month of June. These numbers are expected to be provided tomorrow when Apple posts its second quarter earnings for 2010. The company also says the iPad will launch to more countries later in the year and will announce availability and local pricing for these additional countries at a later date in the future.
