Following the international launch of the much awaited iPad, thousands of iPad lovers have flocked to the various Apple Stores.

Reports suggest that Apple's flagship Sydney store in Australia, witnessed a 200m (656ft) queue that had formed outside the store. Sources claim that the same scenario was prevalent in Tokyo, Japan.

Witnessing an overwhelming response, one million iPads were sold within 28 days from its launch in the US.

In the wake of the huge demand in the US, the Company was forced to push back the international launch of the iPad by a month.

However, according to the reports, the device would be available for sale in the UK, Canada, and some parts of Europe. This move is in tune with the global roll-out that has been spread over a period of time.

According to the reports, the store authorities are unable to deal with the frenzy.

Sources from Sydney claim that the security guards were kept handy in order to deal with the crowds of shoppers. In Japan, people in thousands mobbed the Apple stores and other major electrical shops in Tokyo.

Sources from UK confirmed that due to the rush, some Apple stores opened an hour earlier than usual.

However, the sentiments of the iPad lovers is unanimous worldwide that claims that iPad has been worth the wait.
