The app store on the ipad doesn't work here but I can buy iPad apps and transfer them to the iPad using my Mac. There are about 29 pages of iPad apps already available, some very useful. I can use the music and video apple store to download stuff directly to the iPad. Everything On my Mac bought through the apple store works on the iPad, plus my home made stuff. We can use the great Kindle app for the iPad for downloading and reading books, apparently with a much better range of books than the apple bookstore. I don't have the 3G version, so can't speak from experience about that version. But I do feel that the iPad is definitely not limited even though it's not officially released here.

Hi folks,
hope you're all good!
Los Angeles is basking in brilliant sunshine, it's great to be here again.
Went to the Apple store for a quick look & was hoping there may now be
some consensus as to the viability of buying an I Pad here?
I had a word with Daniel before I left but I'm hoping there is more
positive news now re making the decision?
Regards to all,
Ken
If you're getting a 3G version they're unlocked to any particular
carrier so should be fine, although I've yet to hear anything about
Australian telco's plans for providing plans or MicroSIMs
The power adaptors work on 240V according to Google so you should be ok,
although you may need a different plug.

Choose your iTunes store wisely though if you're going to switch
countries I'm not sure if you can transfer the DRM'd content/Apps etc.
You can bring up to AU$900 worth of goods into the country duty free if
you're over 18, so bear that in mind if you're buying the 64Gb 3G model
at US$829 it may mean you can't bring much else back without paying GST :)
