iPads now flowing more freely in Australia

The 3G enabled iPad I have had on order for so long is in stock and being picked up this morning. One retailer told me that the supply block has been significantly relieved this week.

I will be keeping the 3G device I will keep for myself.  The WiFi unit I got last week is for use by the Tower Systems Point of Sale sales team, demonstrating to newsagents.

Travelling with the iPad has been interesting this week, plenty of people, older businessmen mainly, came up to me asking about the device.   In Perth yesterday I shut the iPad down because of the interruptions.

A week on, I am more convinced than ever than this device has set the scene for a revolution the extent of which we can barely grasp today.

    I agree Mark, checked out of few YouTube episodes on iPad last night, the things that are being done is amazing.The ability to remote access any computer (once authorised)from any location had me interested.
    We now use the iPad as a family when watching TV passing it around, no longer banished to the “computer desk”.May have to consider purchase of another unit, at least I dont have to upgrade existing desktop which was on the cards, a new iPad is a much cheaper option, Thanks Mac

    I ordered mine on Thursday from apple and it is set to ship on the 1st July so I take it there isn’t much stock on hand. Man am I impatient for it.
