In case you haven’t been reading much, it isn’t just Apple who thinks that HTML5, and not Flash, is beneficial for the future of the web. The major players in the web browser field seemed to all think so.
Here’s a quote from Microsoft’s GM of Internet Explorer, the most used web browser on planet Earth;

Finally we get some insight for how much more the iPad will sell for in two of the most important non-US Apple markets – the UK and Japan.

Apple announced earlier today that the iPad, the holy grail of all tablets (except the one with commandments on it), will only be in Singapore in July, as I predicted earlier. Singapore, together with 8 other countries including Hong Kong and NZ, will be the third batch of countries that the iPad will be made available to after the US launch and the End May International launch.
Pricing will only be available later in July, but it’s pretty likely that the prices will be higher than that of those in the States.
P.S. When Apple says July, they often mean late July, and this is no exception.

According to a source with one of the key suppliers of components for the Apple tablet/device, there will be enough units produced by late Feb that Apple might start fulfilling the earliest orders by late Feb. However, most consumers should only expect to get their hands on one earliest in March.
This falls in line with some of the other rumors we have been hearing so far, personally I will place my bet on this one.
Will you buy one if it is not released immediately after the (alleged) keynote on 26th Jan 2010?
As above! Fresh from the oven. ^_^
Now Singtel seems to have the best deal. Again.
Time to ditch the iOne+BBoM bundle plan.
