Sitting pretty in big countries such as the UK, Germany, Canada and the US, it's easy to forget the travails of being a small country of small population.

So it is that shoppers in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Malaysia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan finally got their hands on official iPads today.
