More modern look coming this fall.
iPad 2 and White iPhone 4 Launching in Japan on Thursday
Nikkei reports that the iPad 2 will finally debut in Japan on Thursday, April 28th. The launch comes a month later than originally planned due to the earthquake and tsunami that devastated significant parts of the country. The news comes by way of CNNGo:
That veritable font of all knowledge, the Nikkei Shimbun newspaper, says the shiny lust-bauble will hit Japanese stores in stealth mode, more than a month after the scheduled March 25 launch-date.
Beyond the original announcement of delay, Apple has not officially announced the ship date for the iPad 2 in Japan.This week should be a busy week for Apple as they are believed to be launching the white iPhone 4 to multiple countries on Wednesday.
Update: The White iPhone 4 is apparently also making its way to Japan on the same date, April 28th. A reader sent in this picture taken at a Softbank store, which lists the 4/28 date as the start of sales:

I read that it will be launched in Hong Kong, South Korea and Singapore too.

Not that I'm complaining (I'm here in Tokyo), but tomorrow, and we're only finding out today? And the website still doesn't have a date? Seems a little strange to come out of no-where with the source being one newspaper and not apple it seems.
