Hundreds of customers queued outside Apple stores in Asia and Europe to buy an iPad 2 tablet computer amid fears that shortages in the United States would be repeated abroad. The iPad 2, a thinner and faster version that features two cameras for video chat, was introduced in the United States on March 11, and analysts estimate about a million were sold in the first weekend. On Friday, the rollout was extended to 25 countries including most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Mexico. [Photo/Agencies]
