using comgateway? I hear apple block shipment to comgateway...

Nope, i found comgateway rates a bit high.

when will ipad 2 launch in MY?

Should be end April

bro how u sure that arr?

im heard by end of this month..

I think the earliest Malaysia will get it is probably some where around late June or July, based on past experience.
April is a totally no-no coz even Apple Store US shipping time now is around 2 weeks now in US.

Those who kept saying April or 27 APril, please share your sources. How does a sales staff in the local know when Apple will release it's product to Asia when only Japan has it? Not Singapore, not Thailand, not Malaysia?

now 3-4 weeks wait for Ipad 2 in US>

So. really run low on stock. if true, maybe launch on march 25 internationally may have to be push back...

Nope. Apple never do that. Maybe they will push other countries like Msia, singapore, hongkong etc etc

there is no Apple Store in Msia, so there is no sales staff.

+1 for Mackiddo.
You guys don't get how it works, do you?
Apple places the highest priority to the US first(first wave), then it shall distribute to countries which has Apple Retail (weird exception of China) (second wave), and some parts of Europe.
Since Singapore happens to be the Apple Regional Centre in SEA, they always get stuff before we do(third wave).
And then only we will get it(final wave).

And since the stock demand is so high, i still think that the Malaysian launch will be somewhere in June - July.
Please consider that there are nearly 200 million probable iOS users all around the world. As for the iPad alone, last year's iPad launch garnered over 300,000 iPads sold in the first day alone.
Foxconn or whoever manufactures the iPads will be incapacitated if Steve says "You've gotta make 200 million iPads in 3 months."

This is the best explaination so far. The wave thingy make it simple to understand. I wonder how the rumors about ipad coming to malaysia this 26 april evolve?

The desperado of people in Malaysia

win! demit la.. really can't wait for the ipad 2... garageband + imovie pureness awesome!!

haha those are not true apple fans!
want it fast, get it from usa or wait until stock reach singapore.

Is it necessary to call them desperado?

I fully agreed with what you're stating, it's a iPad 2 and it's selling like hot cakes. I think the stocks are running low in US or even running out of stocks by now and if the moment iPad2 reach Singapore, we'll better get our wallet ready by then.

Err.. Ya.. Make sure we get our wallet ready.. For ipad3 perhaps? Lolz..

For me only, you can see that from the garage sales.

I'm not trying to start any argument but that's what in my mind
