March 7 was the day when Apple announced the New iPad and we knew it from the keynote that it will be available in brick-and-mortar stores starting from March 16. We’ve just got another confirmation so if you want to grab one, March 16 is the day to stand in line at stores which open at 8:00AM local time in the US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland and the UK; along with Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
