iPad 2 Launch in China Brings Long Lines and Sellouts

Yesterday, Apple officially launched the iPad 2 in China bringing six Wi-Fi capable models to the country for the first time. MIC Gadget has provided photos of the event which show long lines as hundreds waited for the doors to open at 8:00 AM. Stock ran out quickly with some stores selling out in less than four hours.

Apple also ran sales via its online store in China with shipping estimates of 1-2 weeks. However that time quickly turned to "no supply."
