iPad allegedly went on sale in Hong Kong last Friday, but I only see
Simplified Chinese input options listed on the HK site and on my own
device using the latest version 3.2.1 (7B405). No Traditional Chinese
input yet? Seems overdue...

There are over 2 dozen keyboards present on the iPhone which for some reason were not included on the iPad, including Traditional Chinese. I suspect we may have to wait until iOS 4 is released in the fall to get the missing ones. A list of those is at

Sounds like the HK release is but a proxy release for iPad release to the
Mainland.

I spoke with someone selling iPads in the Guanghua night market in Taipei. He had tried to go buy some iPads in HK, but they were already sold out, with everyone buying them to sell on the Mainland. He said the price was much higher there than what people in Taiwan were willing to pay. Nearly double the US price, whereas in Taiwan the price is about 50-70 percent more than the US price.
