Apple Australia just became one of the first international sites to introduce the iPad to its pages. That gives us a pretty good indication of Apple’s plans for a global launch: same “late March” ship for Wi-Fi only models and April for 3G models (carrier yet to be announced). Fine, but it’s not what we see that has us intrigued so much as what’s missing: the iBookstore<\/a> and any indication of the iBooks app. This doesn’t look like an oversight but rather its purposeful removal from any images or feature lists. Guess we shouldn’t be too surprised; going back to the press release we see the following: “iBookstore will be available in the US at launch.” Seems Apple meant to say, only<\/i> in the US, eh? Rest easy Bezos, the iPad has a long way to go before it’s any competition to the Kindle.<\/p>\n
