Despite strong demand, the new iPad continues its international rollout next week.

Exactly one month after the device made its debut in the U.S. on March 16, the new iPad will arrive in South Korea and 11 additional countries this week.

While demand for the third-generation tablet has remained strong, Apple has continued to keep up a speedy international release schedule. Just weeks after its debut on March 23, the device made its way to Europe, New Zealand, Mexico, and Macau. And on Friday, April 20, it will arrive in South Korean and 11 other countries, including: Brunei, Croatia, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malaysia, Panama, St Maarten, Uruguay and Venezuela.

The device will be sold through the Apple online store and select Apple authorized resellers. There’s no word on whether pre-orders will be available, but it’s looking unlikely; they weren’t available for the second release phase back in March.

On Friday, April 27, the device will also arrive in Colombia, Estonia, India, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, South Africa and Thailand.
