Source: Apple iPad 2 India Launch Announcement Soon?


India has always been a dumping ground for leftover products by Apple, be it the iPhone or the iPad. But now things seem to be getting better because Apple may launch the iPad 2 in India in just about a couple of weeks, according to a report.



The iPad 2 has already been launched in the US, and will be launched in several other countries on March 25, but India doesn t figure in that list yet. Apple has not yet confirmed any India date, but a senior manager at a leading Apple partner has revealed on informal enquiries, that the company is working on a launch date to be announced in just two weeks. This was discussed during the Apple partners meeting held in New Delhi last Wednesday. The source added, "iPad 2 launch figured prominently at the meeting and most partners were urging Apple's management to intimate them about the launch in advance so that they draw up sales strategies."

Apple partners are said to have expressed unhappiness about how Apple launched the original iPad in India, 10 long months after its US launch. The India launch of the iPad 2 seems even more feasible now because Apple has been promoting the iPad 2 on their Indian website, which they never did for the original iPad. So let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that iPad 2 would not be atrociously priced. Would you buy the iPad 2 if it is launched in India?

Bond, Desi Bond!
i don't think so. they do promote their new products everywhere. Why would they release iPad 2 just few weeks after iPad's release in India?

yes, even if you have a world class product you ought to have a marketing strategy and proper management to look into every aspect of selling that product. I have heard that it was stuck on some testing/certification which delayed its launch!

Xoom's price >>> Ipad 2's price

I don't think spending 35k on a tablet is good idea when you can get a better device in about 25k.

Xoom has lot many features.

Though neither IMO is value for money.

Waiting for sub 20k Honeycomb tablets.
