Apple released iPad 2 in China earlier this morning and the guys over at M.I.C. Gadgets have reported that the popular Apple tablet sold out in less than 4 hours.
Even though there are a lot of KIRF (Keepin it Real Fake) iPads in the gadget markets of China, the iPad 2 still drew a very large crowd, which is show in the picture above. There were plenty of scalpers along with hundreds of customers there as well as some security guards to make sure that there are no fights and that everyone stays in their respective spots. The security guards even put up a yellow sign that translated into message directed specifically to the scalpers:
"This district forbids scalpers to sell stuff to customers... Behind the yellow board, its a special zone for scalpers to gather around".
The scalpers were reported to have sold iPads for a higher price of 200-400 Yuan, or about $30-$60 more. The iPad 2 has also sold out in less than a week in South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore.
