Bangalore: India will not have to wait for months to get iPad 2. The announcement of the launch of iPad 2 in India will come as soon as March End or April. Apple COO, Tim Cook announced that the iPad2 is being rolled out in 13 new countries in a week's time and it might as well land in India. If the iPad 2 hits India in a week's time, it would be a cheer for Apple fans, who haven't even got the iPhone 4. The pricing of Apples iPad2 will range from 27900 which will be similar to iPad1. Apple, while declaring its financial results, revealed it had sold 4.69 million iPads in its second fiscal. Analysts said the company had sold even more units if supply constraints had not hit the operations. The tablet has been up for orders at HomeShop 18 and if noticed, the prices are really sky high. The basic Wi-Fi only 16 GB version is priced at 34, 900. What's more is that the iPad 2 will be on sale through popular electronics retailers like Vijay Sales, Croma and Reliance iStores. Apple was criticized badly for delaying the launch of the iPad 1 in India (it launched in Jan 2011), but it seems that they are making up with the iPad 2. Firstly, the iPad 2 is being shown on the Apple India homepage for sometime now, prompting many to say that the company was trying to dump unsold unit in India ahead of iPad 2 launch.
