Beijing - Hundreds queued up Friday for the first official iPads sold in China, the world's biggest internet market, after months of grey-market action among avid buyers unwilling to wait for the Apple tablet.

Apple stores in Beijing and Shanghai as well as authorised retailers around the country began offering the Wi-Fi model of the touch screen device, millions of which have already been sold in the US and other nations.

Analysts predicted strong demand for the iPad despite a paucity of Chinese content and the country's huge unofficial market for Apple products, which are slipped in from Hong Kong, Singapore and the US and resold.
