Brazilian iPads in December

According to Brazilian website UOL, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Aloizio Mercadante, said that iPads could hit the local market in December. Products - now produced locally and thus avoiding enormous import taxes - will be cheaper. First reports in April suggested that Foxconn would invest USD 12 billion in this new factory, with iPad production starting in late August / early September. The start of shipments was then projected for November. It will be the first Foxconn facility - outside China - to assemble the Apple tablet.
