Third-party retailers onboard
Apple will finally launch the iPad in Sweden tomorrow, November 30th, several media outlets have confirmed. The tablet should be available from third-party vendors like Elgiganten and Media Markt, the latter of which is holding a midnight launch event. Prices are so far unpublished, but are rumored to be ranging from 5,000 SEK ($712) for a 16GB Wi-Fi model up to 8,300 SEK ($1,181) for a 64GB 3G tablet.
The iPad is expected to become available in several Nordic countries soon, including Norway, Finland and Denmark. A Danish newspaper is in fact said to have accidentally printed an ad a day early, showing prices between 3,799 and 5,999 DEK. These are equivalent to 4,750 and 7,500 SEK, which could lead to Swedish shoppers crossing the border to save money.

Norway as well
It is launching here in Norway tomorrow as well, which indicates it will be launched in all the Nordic countries simultaneously. Rumours will have it to cost 3999 NOK for the cheapest model which would be only 4516 SEK so perhaps both the Swedes and the Danes will come here? :))
