When does the Ipad 2 come to Canada ? March 25th


March 2nd debut, available in the US on March 11, and Canada ??? March 25th. Apple officially announces the iPad 2, out March 25 in Canada
According to Reuters: "Apple Inc’s maestro Steve Jobs took the stage to unveil the iPad 2 on Wednesday, drawing a standing ovation with his surprise return to the spotlight after a brief medical absence.

The familiar sight of the Silicon Valley legend in a black turtleneck and jeans cheered fans and investors who had fretted about the health of the charismatic company co-founder. Shares of Apple, which had been flat, climbed as much as 1.4 percent after he strode onstage.

Happy iPad 2 day! In the run-up to the event, there had been almost as much speculation about whether Jobs would appear as there was about the device itself.

“Didn’t want to miss today,” the industry icon told a packed auditorium in San Francisco, holding forth with his characteristic flair and energy.

Jobs’ return to the spotlight comes at a critical moment. Apple is launching the next generation of its ground-breaking tablet computer just as its main adversaries are releasing their first such devices.

"The iPad 2 is thinner than the iPhone 4, twice as fast as the last tablet, camera-equipped, and goes on sale this month in a surprisingly fast roll-out that highlights the fierce competition in the tablet market.

Apple sold nearly 15 million iPads in nine months of 2010, two or three times as many as analysts had predicted. The company is expected to sell 30 million or more this year, which would generate close to $20 billion in sales."
