April 29, I saw on news (googled)

For 900$, I will first buy IPAD 1 for 500,000 Won. Then after 2 months, I will buy IPAD2 for another 600,000 Won or so.

In regards to customs, its probably best to not try to "game" the system. Paying the customs tax is the safest way to ensure that you will receive your product.

April 29th is the unconfirmed date that sk will begin selling the iPad 2. However this date was announced before the quake. iPad 2 supplies are already constrained with the apple store showing a 4-5 week wait for new orders. Many analysts believe the international release dates will be pushed back both due to greater than expected demand and supplier issues due to the quake.

Regardless, it's a waiting game for now and I read an article where an analyst warned that supplies could be low for the rest of the quarter into June.

Look at apple's stock(AAPL). It's trading down sharply due to apple's suppliers being affected by the quake. Buy AAPL if you're looking for a quick 10% gain on your portfolio.

Forgot to mention that the price is now $850. I offered this to another buyer that backed out so thought it would only be fair to offer it to everyone. Shipping is still $50 set by the postman.

The last one is always the hardest to move. Btw if you're looking for a different spec/color, let me know. My friend at the apple store says they get a few from time to time so I might be able to track it down but no promises.
