Arabic on the iPad
After the announcement of the iPad, Apple has released the latest version of the iPhone SDK to include support for the iPad.
I got the chance to try it this morning. Arabic is missing as an option in both “interface language” and “keyboard language”. However it is available under “Region Format”. So for now you have Arabic names for dates and Arabic numbers.
iPhoneIslam also noted that the iPad can still display Arabic characters properly. No broken Arabic characters:
So most likely Apple will add Arabic as an input and interface in the near future.

you need to login on your iPad with a US account.
You can still buy iPad apps with saudi account from the computer in iTunes
