IPads hits HK shops today

iPad港開售水貨大跳水

As Apple began selling the iPad Friday in Hong Kong, the price of smuggled iPads in the mainland will see a drop, Hong Kong media reported. Many Apple fans lined up before the opening at 10 am, and within only half an hour, some models were sold out. According to some mainland dealers who have been getting the devices from overseas, Hong Kong will be an important source of supplies of Apple products feeding the so-called "gray market", and prices may fall by as much as RMB1,000.

據港媒報道，蘋果iPad平板電腦23日正式在香港開賣，大陸水貨市場的iPad有望隨著行貨在香港的上市而大幅降價。港店鋪開門前，不少"果粉"已在門外排起長龍，上午10點開售后僅半小時，部分型號的ipad已售罄。一些經銷商表示，大陸iPad水貨以后將主要從香港進貨，價格或比現在降低1000元人民幣左右。
