Today the iPad was officially launched in China and there were thousands of people lined up at the at the four Apple stores. The Beijing store had at least 500 people in line at 4 A.M. and when the store opened at 8 A.M. there were more than 1000 people waiting for their iPad 2. After 4 hours the stock was down to zero and even after a short time the online order was displaying no stock for the Chinese.

This doesn’t surprise us at all and actually makes us a little disgruntled. Here in the States the supply is still short and you can’t just run out to any store and get an iPad 2 of your choice. I understand Apple has to get product to other countries but at least get your home country supplied up really good before you take a ton of product every where else. Just our two cents.
