The iPad2 will go on sale at Australian Apple stores at 5pm in local time zones, and will be available online from 1am.

This is good news as they are the same as USA INC AUSTRALIAN GST TAX 10% due to the dollar exchange being about the same


Most retailers will have stock including The Good Guys. Just so you know most retailers close at 5:30 pm unless in a city or decide to stay open on Friday night....It is strange they picked 5pm FRiday

Interesting, almost the same amount we pay for iPads in America. Wonder if it works out the same on the exchange rate.

Exchange rate is 1 to 1 which is why. Last year it was 80C on the dollar
