Apple warns Hong Kong iPad scalpers against queueing ahead of Friday launch (but that doesn’t stop them)




Sales of new Apple products in Asia are blighted with sophisticated scalping operations and healthy demand for aftermarket sales. So, before it debuts its new iPad in Hong Kong on Friday, the company appears to have begun fixing notices in the areas surrounding its flagship store at the IFC Mall, warning scalpers they won’t be able to purchase an iPad on a first-come-first-serve basis.

But that’s not stopping them, not at all.

Engadget China reports that despite notices being placed outside the store and on connecting footbridges, scalpers are not moving and continue to camp outside of the IFC Mall, despite warnings from the Police that they need to leave the area.

The warning reads:

No staying or queueing up here. Apple will not serve on a first come first serve basis for new iPad. Please refer to Apple’s official website for the detailed arrangement.

It is believed scalpers are working to circumvent the Reserve and Pickup program that Apple has introduced in the country to ensure that customers are able to secure an order for a new iPad device, by tying orders to an individuals name, address and their government-issued photo ID.

However, it is more likely that scalpers will approach customers visiting the store to pickup their preordered iPad and offer them an inflated sum of money in exchange for their new purchase.

Apple will allow customers to preorder their iPad via its Reserve and Pickup service from Thursday morning. Customers will be able to place an order but they must wait for a notification from Apple to confirm the order has been placed. This is likely a check that Apple performs to ensure that customers are making multiple purchases.

With chaos descending on its retail stores at the launch of the iPhone 4S in China, Apple introduced the new reservation ticketing system on its Hong Kong website in January. Customers were given then chance to reserve the iPhone between 9am and 12pm, notifying them by email before 9pm, providing them with a time to pick up their device the following day.

kung wala ka pang iPad, go for iPad 3.

[fourtheboys96]

kung wala ka pang iPad, go for iPad 3.

bakit iPad3 bro? madami ba problema iPad2? iniisip ko din kasi kung ano sa dalawa?

ang alam ko yung HD display at processor ay upgraded sa new iPad. pero kung walang naman issues sa iPad2, baka yun ang kunin ko.

Syempre bakit ka pa bibili ng generation behind na model kung available naman yung current model.

La ako iPad pero san niyo pinapa-jailbreak Apple products niyo ? Madali lang daw sana i-DIY pero takot ako baka ma-destroy it yourself ko pa nawala ko pa naman resibo nito.

sarili lang, hinde mo masisira ang ipad sa pag JB...pag palpak restore lang balik na ulit sa factory settings then JB ulit

[antonath]

pag mag jailbreak ka dapat untethered siya... ito po link

good point. pero dahil bago ang ipad3, hindi natin alam kung may mga issues sa paggamit nun. I've read about heating issues which is logical due to higher power consumption (HD display + fast processor). Kaya mejo hesitant ako.

use google. madaming sites pero iilan lang naman talaga developers at softwares to do jailbreaking.

nung isang gabi ang ginamit ko for iphone4 ay redsnow. upgrade to ios5.0.1 preserving my baseband. then jailbreak.

you can also use snowbreeze, pwnage (for mac users), absinthe for iphone 4S etc.

basta back-up muna sa itunes at copy mo yung pictures bago mo gawin ang lahat.

Meron din major issue ang ipad 2, backlight bleeding naman.

ngayon ko lang nalaman itong issue about backlight bleeding. i've search in google and daming nagsoli pala sa apple.
didn't noticed mine pero try ko mamaya pag uwi.

meron na din ba dito sa pinas mga nagsoli sa apple because of this issue? or parang wala?

bought mine last nov 2011 - baka by this time, na solve na nila issue.

finally bought a new ipad. a brand new iPad2 that is. hehehe

but it came with ios 5.1 so no jailbreak at this moment

i looked and tried using the new ipad (ipad 3) and the display is really very good. but the back part is really warm/hot which i don't experience in ipad2 i have right now. the temperature difference between the two is quite noticeable.
