iPad to Ship to Nine More Countries Friday

The iPad is coming! The iPad is coming! That could be the cry heard in nine more countries as Apple announced Monday it was expanding international orders this Friday. Both the 3G and the 3G+WiFi version will begin selling in Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore July 23.

The iPad “will roll out to many more countries later this year and Apple will announce availability and local pricing for these additional countries at a later date,” the Cupertino, Calif. company announced.

The tablet device is already available in the U.S., Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Japan. In June, Apple said 3 million iPads were sold in the first 80 days the device was available. One analyst predicts between 7.5 million and 9 million iPads will be sold during the September financial quarter with demand outstripped supplies until at least November.
