iPad international rollout: More countries, dates announced

Apple has announced that it plans to release the iPad in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK on May 28th and that it will start taking pre-orders in these countries on May 10th.
No countries are scheduled to get the iPad in June but in the same announcement Apple also introduced another list of countries which should see an iPad release in July: Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and Singapore. Interestingly both international launches involve nine countries. Does Apple send teams to these countries to coordinate the launch or perhaps just has the teams working from the US, but each coordinating one or a set of countries?
If your country isn’t in the new list you might now be looking at September for your next shot at having the chance to walk into a store and buy an iPad, if the two month interval is maintained between the releases.
