再次错过菲律宾。四月其实并不遥远，我们可能会在本地灰色市场看到更多更实惠的iPad2（价格低于目前看到的3.6万比索）。虽然未明确具体日期，但应该会在30天内。

在初代 iPad 的首次国际发布期间，香港和新加坡也领先于菲律宾。

如果我们沿用去年的“延迟”模式，官方菲律宾版可能要等到四月之后四到五个月才会发布。

以下是来自 Apple 新闻稿中的关键部分：

定价与发售信息

Patience everyone if you donâ€™t have an ipad yet wait to buy. Consumers drive the prices on these things. The original iphone3G came out and cost like $600 US dollars, and now you can get the original for free from wireless providers. With a two year contract of course, but still free. Point being this ipad craze will be the same principal. Ipad1 will drop even more, the Ipad2 will do the same when 3-4-5-6 is released. Itâ€™s such a racket technology, they sell a product Iphone everyone freaks out and stands in lines for days to pay top dollar for it. Donâ€™t you realize if you wait a year or two you purchase the junk for a 50% marked down price. Let the rich people get the first couple and cover Apples cost for making the crap.
Listen to yhabe wait save your money get Ipad1 for cheap, and in 3-4years that Ipad 10 will be out with full hologram images, or maybe even a teleport. Beam me up Scottie!!!!!!!

BATTERY LIFE ALWAYS SUCKS! BATTERY DRAINS SO FAST :-( WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU APPLE :-( HALOS LAHAT NG NABILI KONG GADGETS SA KANILA PALPAK. ORIG NAMAN :-(

Your mom · 15 years ago

Are you retarded? Battery life of the iPad2 is same as the iPad1. More than 10 hours. Think before you comment.

Louie · 15 years ago

Yeah I agree dame naman Haters

ankie · 15 years ago

i will be in the philippines on april 2.. and i have an extra ipad to bring. 32gig wifi. contact me for an offer. im from canada

praksta · 15 years ago

sa tingin ko they wont release a lot of ipad2 just to generate hype. hehe but still i want to get my hands on one..

Pao · 15 years ago

i want the ipad2 badly! i had my mom personally hunt it in SF and LA but no luck in either best buys or mac stores. sabi three weeks pa daw maglalabas ng bagong stocks. hindi naman din pwedeng magpareserve. as long as apple make people wait for it, the bigger the chance these customers are likely to get other tablets. cant figure bat di nila maanticipate yung malaking demand for it!

boie · 15 years ago

kung nakaschedule lang ako makauwi ng pinas this month bibili ako ng maraming ipad2 dito sa US kaya lang for sure haharangin ako sa aiport ng mga buwaya sa NAIA

Messie · 15 years ago

pwede siguro mga 5, tapos sabihin mo pasalubong mo lang sa family. Although may limit na 2 per person ang pagbili ng ipad2 diyan, for sure naman magagawan mo ng paraan un :)

Benchmark · 15 years ago

hmmm I can smell Messie will be one of your buyer if you got extra Ipad2 to sell. hehehehe

Anyway, have patience lang po. But then again, I am thinking of buying Samsung Tab instead of Ipad 1 for the reason I can send SMS through this gadget.

Kapitanbok · 15 years ago

I have decided not to buy ipad 2 and retain my ipad 1
1. I think the main difference between 1 and 2 are the front and back cameras, but reviews says it is inferior to other tablets.
2. almost all apps run in ipad 1, and still no flash player.
3. many tabs, (ie samsung, lg, asus) have better specs than ipad 2.
4. Rumors of ipad 3 having far more superior specs than ipad 2which will be launched earlier than expected.
5. Because of price slash on ipad 1, i cannot sell mine at a decent price.

Messie · 15 years ago

Dude, the main difference between 1 and 2 is the speed. Processing speed in ipad2 is 2x it’s predecessor, and GPU is 9x than that of ipad1 (this is somehow proven in benchmark tests conducted by other sites).

As per the rumors of a new version of ipad2 coming out around 4Q 2012, then I have to say that this is quite sketchy. Mas likely pa na magrelease sila ng updated version like iphone 3gs before, or they will just release the ipad 3 on March of next year.

Yep, masakit talaga iyung price slash for ipad1 owners, the most they can sell their old ipads now is at 15-16k (16gb wi-fi) and that constitutes 10k loss (maybe more) as to the price they bought their ipads, some of which are not even a year old.

In a nutshell, di naman highly recommended magupgrade from ipad1 to ipad2. If you can wait for ipad 3 then that will be much better. Pero if you have money to burn, or if you haven’t bought an ipad yet and is planning to jump on the tablet wagon while sticking it up with Apple, then don’t be trapped with the cheaper ipad 1 and wait for the ipad2 to get here.

Mike · 15 years ago

Speed does not give that much difference it’s just 0.1 to 5 seconds waiting. Maybe you will notice it if there is an app release specifically for ipad 2 that utilizes the dual core and the new gpu. But most apps today are built for ipad 1 or compatible to it.

It’s just like trying to browse the web with an Intel i7 and core 2 duo. You will notice only a very little difference unless you will use an app that is hungry for cpu

Messie · 15 years ago

“But most apps today are built for ipad 1 or compatible to it.”

Key operative word – “today”.
Definitely, app developers will soon be utilizing the processing and the GPU powers of the ipad 2, actually some of them are doing that now. Want an example? Take Epic’s Infinity Blade game. When the ipad2 is released, they released a patch for it and comparing it side by side, and the difference is certainly noticeable when compared to playing the game on the ipad 1.

Definitely, other apps will do this, baka nga in the future, malilimit na ang apps na pwede iinstall sa ipad 1. Same with the iphone and ipod touch where many of the apps now can only be installed on the iphone 3Gs up, or the ipod touch 3rd Gen up.

Messie · 15 years ago

*When the ipad2 was launched, they released a patch for it and comparing it side by side with the ipad 1, the difference is certainly noticeable graphic-wise and performance-wise.

Messie · 15 years ago

Yo ho Apple! Bring the ipad2 here or else immago get a Galaxy tab 8.9! To the fastest goes the victory! (Or my mid year bonus, i guess =D)

dulfo · 15 years ago

I will definitely get an Ipad2 ASAP.

Benchmark · 15 years ago

“iPad 2 will be available in Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and additional countries in April”

Philippines is included in the ‘additional countries’! Hinde na binanggit! Hehehehe so people, prepare for your mid year bonus! Ipad 2 will be coming to town…I hope! hehehehe

Messie · 15 years ago

+1 dito. Here is to hoping this will be the case. Kung hindi, I’ll find ways to get one din.

Btw, ebuystore sold the ipad1 last year around may or june at only 1k premium over the SRP of apple. Sana ganun din ang selling price niya for ipad2.

alwin · 15 years ago

there’s still hope… keeping my fingers crossed dun sa statement na “additional countries”. LOL! would love to have an ipad2

Jeric · 15 years ago

As usual, hindi target market ng apple yung philippines. If only they open an official apple store here and sell ipads, including iphones unlocked, baka babaha pa yung gagamit ng iphones and apple products plus it would drive the prices lower. Ako I want an iphone pero due to its unavailability of unlocked ones I have no choice but to just settle for other phones available here. (only globe post-paid is the carrier here which is not my option)

leeto · 15 years ago

I will not definitely buy an Ipad2 for reasons that it was overhyped but the specs of Galaxy Tab 10 is much better. there are much more good tablets coming out with much better specs and price. plus i hate the sales staff at their center, mayayabang ang dating.

Your mom · 15 years ago

Where did you get your information? From a garbage can? Specs are not the only thing that make a tablet great. It’s usability and software. So far no current tablet (despite their “high specs”)was able to touch the iPad in terms of these aspects and especially sales. The new iPad2 has improved in almost every way and set the standard for tablets. You probably wouldn’t know what to do with a tablet anyway.
