Heart-ons for the new iPad

The new iPad has arrived, and Apple-obsessed geeks lined up - in many cases overnight - hoping to get their hands on the latest incarnation of the popular tablet computer.

The big selling point is that the new iPad has a much sharper display (meaning better porn), better wireless connectivity and an improved camera. The basic model is being sold for around $500.

And although the popular gadgets are made in China, they aren't yet available in that country. They have to be smuggled in from Hong Kong.

"We don't have iPad 3s yet, but some will arrive later in the day when the students deliver them to us. We'll have more supplies over this weekend," said a store operator in Shenzhen. "Customs has become stricter, but if you take one at a time across the border, that's still pretty safe."

Not lucky enough to grab one this weekend? You may have to wait three whole weeks before you get your hands on one ... or you can wait six months for Apple to release the next version.
