Well, the good news is that May 28th people in selected countries will be able to buy an iPad. Even better, iBooks and iTunes stores will allow people there to buy things.
HOWEVER, we have had news this week that of the million iPads sold already, 10% have gone overseas. This means that if you don't live in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland or the UK, you are pretty much still out of luck.
If there are 100,000 iPads already outside the US, why don't they man up and just let people buy stuff? I can't imagine that the application and book vendors are going to be happy that a tenth of their market is being cut off.
And please, don't give me that "international copyright" bollocks. If you can get a US iTunes card or credit card, you can buy stuff in any country, or buy it in the US and go overseas. Borders are meaningless, all you are doing is annoying potential legitimate customers and possibly creating illegitimate ones.
