On Friday, in the second launch stage, Apple Inc began to sell the new version of the iPad (which is a sort of high-speed wireless version) in United States. This is happening after the successful debut of the Wi-Fi version with a short range of scope early this month.
Certainly, although this launch didn’t have so much propaganda and excitement as happened during the first launch (on April 3, a lot of people waited in line all night to get one), some Apple retail stores in big cities also had groups of people who were waiting for the official launch, which was carried out at 17:00 local time.
For example, at a store in downtown San Francisco, about 75 people waited in line during 90 minutes before the public launch of this Apple gadget.
Several people said they were waiting for the more expensive version of the iPad because they think the iPad 3G would be a potential replacement of their laptop computers, at least in certain cases.
