Why?

Do they have some kind of Libyaphobic operating system?

The guy in the apple store in Houston told me they are not allowed to sell them for overseas markets at present (this was 2 weeks ago) and that the iPad's were for use with AT&T systems only, not unlocked........

Please do your homework before you buy one.

Its Unlocked by apple , So, all you need to do is get 3G microsim card.

You can check below YouTube URL. Enjoy!

If the I-Pad had a camera and a built in mic so you could skype with it (or video equivalent) it would have truly been revolutionary....as it is it's a giant I-Pod touch that will conect via 3G instead of just wi-fi.

The iPad does have a mic (no cam unfortunately) and the iphone skype application works great on it!
