Funny, but it sure seems like the international iPad launch — we’ve got video from London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Sydney — is generating a lot more buzz and hype than even the US, where lines were short and the coverage somewhat subdued compared to recent iPhone rollouts.

Here’s a bit of AFP coverage for London, Paris and Berlin. Of course, the Germans are so subdued.

A fan video from Vancouver, Canada.

In Tokyo, well, that’s Japan so there’s always a unique flavor to everything they do.

Here’s a user report from Sydney, Australia where the fans obligingly queued and the media was out in force.

Smiles all around — cheers!
