iPad-Canada-Austrailia-International

Apple Store in Canada are reportedly having a “black out” period during the weekend of April 24, meaning no vacation, according to iPadinCanada. And if anything, there’s a high probability that April 24 is the release date for both models of the iPad in Canada or even the international launch, and the 3G iPad in the US.

We were contacted by a source with close ties to the Apple Store that the weekend of April 24th has been marked as a “black out period” for staff. This means no employees are allowed to book this day off. If that’s the case, then it would make sense that this indeed would be the launch date for the iPad in Canada. Anytime there’s a “black out period” you know it’s for something big.

While folks in the US are ready to pick up or purchase a WiFi iPad at an Apple Store or select Best Buy locations this Saturday. We’ll have a full-featured iPad Review in the coming days or weeks.

As we approach late March for the Wi-Fi iPad launch, Apple readies to ramp up marketing for the iPad and prepares Apple Store employees for iPad training. According to a new report on examiner, Apple Store training for the iPad will begin around March 10. The actual iPad release date has not been set in stone yet, but we’ll looking at a very likely March 26 launch. It was also noted that the 3G iPad may see an April or May release now, we reported that there may be an iPad shortage yesterday.

In addition, we learn that iPad commercials will start to air on March 15, with focus to show off the iBooks Store and the iPad’s capability as an E-Reader with the iBooks App.

Lastly, folks camping out for the iPad at launch day will receive a “special gift.”

iPad Release Date February

According to Steve Chuang from Cens, the imminent launch of the Apple iPad is set to be around February of 2010 and priced at $799-$999, which sounds just about right from the other rumors so far. Steve also got the scoop on a couple of Taiwanese suppliers that will be responsible for supplying parts for the Apple iPad.

First off, DynaPack International Technology Corp. will be supplying up to 300,000 of these supposedly long lasting batteries for the Apple iPad per month. Where as Wanshih Electronic Co., Ltd. will be supplying the mini coaxial cables for the iPad. And lastly, both Layers Scientific-Technics Co., Ltd. and Wintek Corp. will be supplying the Power Chokes and the lovely 9.7 incher Touch Panel.
