Consumers and companies that have pre-ordered US iPads from outside the US are receiving e-mails from Apple canceling their orders in order to facilitate demand of real US consumers, according to MobileGamesBlog.com (“http://blog.mobilegamesblog.com/2010/03/apple-cancels-foreign-ipad-pre-orders.html).

Those orders (coming mainly from web sites like MyUS, Borderlinx and Shipito) that have been canceled will receive a full refund on their credit cards, the article adds.
