Apple is continuing to widen the availability of its third-generation iPad throughout the month of April. The company announced on Monday that it will make the device officially available in 20 new territories by the end of the month.

On Friday, April 20, iPads will go on sale in Brunei, Croatia, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malaysia, Panama, St Maarten, South Korea, Uruguay, and Venezuela. And the following Friday, April 27, iPads will be available in nine more countries: Colombia, Estonia, India, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Montenegro, South Africa, and Thailand. By the end of the month, the iPad 3 will be on sale in 57 countries around the globe.

The iPad 3 rollout has been the most aggressive of nearly all iOS devices. Apple sold a record 3 million iPad 3s during its launch weekend, and is expected to have sold as many as 13 million iPads during its most recent fiscal quarter, which ended in March. The additional rollouts announced today should help Apple maintain a healthy sales volume for the current quarter as well
