Shame on you apple for misleading us in Australia

I purchased the new iPad and find that it does not work on the Australian 4G network, I think that you have really done some damage to Apple users here in Australia. I am sure Steve would not have released the new iPad in Australia without making sure that it would work with the Australian 4G network.

So I had no real benefit in upgrading from my iPad 2. Very miss leading advertising as it states 4G on the box.

I know that there are many Australians that a not happy with you Apple.

We are users just like you here, and Apple doe not follow the discussions.

Have a look at macroumors and you will see that Apple misled us here in Australia, and is now offering refunds for those that want one. I would recommend that all Australians that purchased the new iPad for 4G should send them back for a refund in protest as we have been missled about 4G.

Then you would have to wait until Apple decides to build a 4G version for those countries that have different frequencies for this service. And nobody but Apple knows when that will be.
