Apple iPad 2 available this week in Asia

Apple will start selling its latest tablet, the iPad 2, in 10 Asian countries this week. The company previously announced that Hong Kong, Korea and Singapore will receive stock in April, but has now included India, Israel, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Turkey and UAE for the April launch.

The iPad 2 will be available at retail stores at 9am local time or from Apple's online store earlier at 1am. Sales will start on April 28 for Japan and April 29 for the rest of the countries listed above. Last we checked, the online stores in these countries have yet to be updated with local pricing.

Editor John Chan's love for gadgets can be traced back to the days when he disassembled his toys and couldn't put them back together again. He practices great restraint in not opening up every review product that comes through the CNET Asia Labs, and before that, in his previous job at HardwareZone. He has reviewed items big and small, from mobile phones to projectors and feels everyone should carry a multitool at all times in case of MacGyver situations.
