iPad Launch Day in Hong Kong attracted diehard Apple pilgrims

23 July is the official launch day of iPad in Hong Kong.  Early in the morning, a crap load of die-hard Apple fanboys/fangirls had queued up early outside IFC, the shopping mall in the prime location of the city, just to buy the tablet device.

We took these pics at around the official launch time.  The offiical reseller, “DG Lifestyle Store” was on the second floor of IFC Mall.  The queue started inside the mall, just outside the door, then through the male toilet next to the store on the 2/F floor, and the photo just showed the pilgrimage outside the entrance on the 1/F floor, and the queue was already extended to outside of the Exchange Square.

To our estimation there was more than 300 people waiting – with half of them having an Apple product in their hands, which we believe is some kind of ritual to beseech the Steve Jobs the patriarch.

Our recommendation?  There’s no need to buy an iPad if you’re travelling to Hong Kong, all you can save is the GST/VAT and nothing else.
