iPad support for Arabic language

It's frustrating that after five months from the launch of the iPad that it still do not support the Arabic language. There are many apple fans in the arabic world and apple is just simply ignoring them but not including Arabic as a keyboard language. I do not know if apple understands that arabic the fifth spoken language in the world and there are more than 2.5 million arabs in united states alone not speaking about Europe (uk, France, germany etc).
We were waiting for the ipad and we thought that it would support arabic as simple default feature but we were disappointed and ignored and two updates has been released and it does not include arabic support for the iPad .
Please work on this as it's frustrating and disappointing for us to wait all of this to have rabic support for the iPad. There is a huge dispointmnet out there but apple decision not to include arabic as a keyboard language and secondly we have to wait all this for simple request like this

iPad, Other OS

To tell Apple about new features you want, it's best to use the channel they have set up for that:

In the meantime, if you search in the iTunes app store for "keyboard", you will find some Arabic keyboards which may be useful for some purposes.

PS Besides Arabic there are over 2 dozen keyboards present in the iPhone which are not yet included in the iPad. Hopefully they will all be included when iOS 4 becomes available for the iPad in the fall of this year.
