My guess is nobody in the UK cares much about the hype-pad - it simply hasn't raised the bar highly enough and for us, the next iPhone is a couple of weeks away from the iPad launch unlike the US so sales will be lackluster as a phone is just way more useful.]]>May 25th 2010 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/May 25th 2010 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/May 25th 2010 9:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/Mind you, as the 3g version seems more popular (and is coming out at the same time) the wifi only version might not sell out.]]>May 25th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/Well considering they sold out of pre-orders for the 28th launch in the UK, you clearly guessed wrong. ]]>May 25th 2010 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/Don't make me laugh.

We were "outraged when the price included the tax"?!

That's the norm here. Who cares whether it "looks expensive" or not, we like to know exactly what we're paying not,

"Oh geez that's cheap!" *Goes to counter* "Hmm few hundred more expensive han I thought, but whatever, at least it lookd cheap at first! Woohoo!"

You clearly know nothing about the UK VAT system or our mindset, I suggest you also inform your "news" channel that they are a bit confused.]]>May 25th 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/May 26th 2010 12:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.apple.com/au/retail/bondi/]]>May 25th 2010 6:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/As far as I can see there are no Apple stores in France and Spain at all.

I was looking at the german one.

What you ment to say was- so EVERY ELECTRONICS COMPANY CEO can keep his hands clean & plenty of cash on the back of those young Chinese for his next body organ.

Im afraid the problem is not with foreign companies, but with the fact there are few human rights in China...]]>May 25th 2010 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/
How about instead of protesting against people buying chinese electronics, you protest against the Chinese government for not implementing modern international standards. What could go wrong, oh wait...]]>May 25th 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/
Another foxconn employee is dead today - keep supporting all the companies that don't give a $hit about the human rights and thier outsourcing of death & sweatshop conditions. Just so the CEOs can keep his hands clean & plenty of cash on the back of those young Chinese.

Particulary companies like Apple who pretend to be this big humanitarian supporter and have a client-base of liberal hypocrites that will toss human rights to the gutter if they can get their iPhone quicker.

Don't give me the crap about products costing 20x more if they were made in the US. If you buy that crap, you need to study your economics a little more.]]>May 25th 2010 8:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/
I think you need to do just a little bit of research into who else Foxconn makes products for.]]>May 25th 2010 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/May 25th 2010 8:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/25/apple-will-open-international-stores-early-for-ipad-launch/
It is also quite handy for tracking my stock portfolio and quickly reading any news related to companies I own. And it is highly portable, and the battery lasts all day long for normal us (I doubt it would last all day if I never turned it off and kept the streaming quotes and news running for 10 hours....)

So, do I mind that it is a lousy salsa maker? Not overly much.
