iPad 2 shortages may have started easing in the U.S. but they're plaguing the afterlife in Malaysia: Chinese families there are scrambling to find paper replicas of the new tablet to burn at the tombs of their ancestors.
The practice is part of the annual and ancient Qingming festival, also known as the tomb sweeping festival. Chinese families throughout Asia honor their ancestors by burning fake money or replicas of luxury items such as flashy cars and designer bags, according to aReuters report from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
"I can only offer them the first iPad model," he says, pointing to shelves laden with the paper tablets and paper iPhones and Samsung Galaxy Tabs, according to the Reuters story.

“In the UK the only tablet businesses want to view their board papers on right now is the iPad 2,” says Simon Small, Diligent Boardbooks’ managing director for licensing in Europe.
“Almost all of large organisations are now requesting their board papers on the iPad. The big problem Apple faces in the short term is meeting enterprise demand for the devices,” he said.
Apple, which has not explained the cause of the shortages, said: “Demand for the next generation iPad 2 has been amazing. We are working hard to get iPad 2 into the hands of every customer who wants one as quickly as possible.”
Current tablet users of Diligent’s iPad app and web portal in the UK include Premier Farnell and Brit Insurance.
