New iPad Launching in Philippines and Guam on May 29

Thursday May 24, 2012 3:17 PM PDT by Eric Slivka

Apple's iPad selection page for Asia reveals that the company will be launching the third-generation iPad in both the Philippines and Guam next Tuesday, May 29. This smaller group of additions comes just over two weeks after Apple's last round, which saw the device launch in 30 new countries.

Apple has noted several times that its international rollout of the third-generation iPad is the fastest ever for an Apple product, with the company now offering the device in roughly 90 countries just over two months after its first round of launches.

Still no Indonesia.:mad:

Typical slow Indonesian Officials.

Like the Lady Gaga case, it was already known months ago she would have a concert here on June 3th but just last week they (Government-Muslim Ulama-FPI) start to question it, then a couple of days ago wasn't allowed to have her concert, after a demonstration of fans she was allowed just yesterday and today I heard Lady Gaga canceled it because of the hassle.:eek:

Apparently she won't tour in countries that don't yet have the new iPad. Sucks, I know.

I read this as a new iPad, as in newer than the current model.

haha, yes, it's the "new iPad" not a new new "iPad". Though when the next, newer new iPad launches it may be confusing for the owners of the current, future-old "new iPad" (though not so much for the even older new iPads, as they could be called 'original' or '2' as well as being new. Before they were old).

iPad (3rd Generation) anyway.
