New iPad in China, where are the crowds? | NDTV Gadgets
Apple released its newest iPad in China on Friday after settling a lawsuit over ownership of its name and requiring buyers to place orders in advance to control crowds.
Watched by security guards, a few dozen shoppers waited outside stores in Beijing and Shanghai, which opened on time at 8 a.m. That was in contrast to the chaotic scene outside Apple's main Beijing store in January, when some customers who wanted to buy a new iPhone shouted and threw eggs after managers delayed the opening due to safety concerns about the hundreds of people waiting.

^^^ I think this is the result of a new reservation system that Apple used... What happened in january was pretty embarrassing for apple as most of the press blamed apple for the incident... Even last week a Chinese daily questioned weather Apple could do the launch without an incident... Anyway another reason might be a lot of ppl might have already bought the iPad from Hongkong...
