For those with an iPad, looks like we'll be seeing a lot of you selling them in the near future.

| The source is DigiTimes so take this rumor for what you will. Nevertheless, the Taiwanese tattle house is citing sources at local component makers claiming that Foxconn has been notified that it must ship Apple's "iPad 2" within the next 100 days or as early as the end of February. DigiTimes says that Apple's plan to start mass production in January had to be pushed because of ongoing firmware testing. Note that this doesn't mean that the second generation iPad will ship to consumers in February since Apple would be stockpiling units ahead of a global launch in April, according to DigiTimes. The original iPad was announced in January and began US shipments in April before starting its relentless global march in May. |

| that doesn't surprise me really... and in June another iPhone will be released. That's been the norm and I don't see why it wouldn't continue. |

I am interested in purchasing an iPad... I've found one on Gmarket for a very nice price, but am wondering if I have to buy a service plan with it.
Since I'm an expat, it's likely I wouldn't be allowed to get a service plan even if I wanted one. |

Depends, I know in North America you needed the Apple Care (service plan) if you wanted to do an advanced exchange (where Apple sent you a replacement iPad) via courier if you weren't near an Apple Retail Store. You can buy it and just have the regular one year warranty on it. No service plan needed and it should be good worldwide. |

I would just buy it from the Apple Store here in Korea. They're about $550USD for the 16GB wifi model which isnt much more than you'd be paying for it back in the states if you paid taxes on it. |
