Apple announced today that its iPad will be available in nine more countries beginning this Friday. The lucky countries include Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore. Customers in these countries will be able to buy the device through Apple’s retail stores and authorized resellers. As the device slowly becomes available in more markets, one cannot help but wonder what the sales numbers will look like.

In the first three months of its shelf-life, the iPad has sold to more than three million people. That’s more than 33,333 per DAY. How’s that for an average, folks? Original release dates for countries outside of the U.S. had to be pushed back by quite a bit due to the unexpected high demand here. Apple said its tablet will reach more countries later this year and that it will announce availability and local prices at a later date.

As of the end of June, there were already more than 11,000 apps available for the iPad. Apple plans to roll out the coveted device to more countries later this year. Local pricing for them will be announced at a later date.
