Most people around the globe have heard of the iPad by now, even in areas where it’s not yet being sold. The iPad no longer needs an introduction but it will become available in 9 more countries this Friday.

Apple’s trend setting gadget, tablet computer, or whatever you’d like to refer to it as, is scheduled to make it’s debut on July 23 in Belgium, Ireland, Hong Kong, Mexico, Austria, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Singapore and New Zealand.

You might remember the iPad international availability graph I whipped up back in May. Hard to believe that was over two months ago already. Guess time flies when you’re having fun on your new iPad.

So you can just imagine how many new faces will be lighting up with smiles this weekend as people wrap their hands around the iPad for the first time. I hope their initial experience is better than mine. I love my iPad now, but as embarrassing as it is to admit, I spent over an hour getting it up and running after taking it out of the box. I was even working on an iPad unboxing video to submit to YouTube, you know like all the cool people are doing these days, but unfortunately you only get one chance for that. I suppose I could have wrapped the box in saran wrap and pretended to do it all over again (only properly the second time), but that just wouldn’t have been the same. My tech savvy score probably just went down a few ratings, but I can live with that.

As Apple continues to sell the iPad in more and more countries one thing I really hope they start doing soon is allowing iPad app store promo codes to work in areas outside of the US of A. I know in my case I’m way up here in Canada but I’m sure Steve Jobs could make it happen if he really wanted to! I’ll even buy him a Canadian smoked meat sandwich and poutine just out of courtesy next time he’s in the area!
