Apple iPad Nearly Approved For Sale In South Korea

Apple is in the midst of seeking approval to sell the iPad in South Korea, and if everything goes according to plan, the popular tablet might even launch in November, pitting it against Samsung’s Galaxy Tab in its native country. A decision on the approval is expected within the next five days and there is the possibility of Apple partnering with the official Korean iPhone carrier, KT, in order to sell the device since Apple doesn’t have any official Korean stores. It wasn’t immediately clear if there will be versions that rely on subsidies to offer the tablet at a lower price point, but it would definitely be nice to have the option of purchasing the device at a discounted price.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

iPad: the iPad is Apple's tablet computer. While not "invented" by Apple (the newton was arguably a PDA), the iPad has re-ignited the tablet format as it appeared at the right time, with the right hardware and apps. the first iPad was launched on April 2010. It was followed by the iPad 2 in March 2011 and a new iPad (gen 3) in 2012.
