As of past midnight on Cyber Black Friday in some parts of the United States, some Twitter users are airing complaints of the Apple store crashing. Just how many enthusiastic iPad and iPhone shoppers are logging on for the "crash" to happen?

Meanwhile, the Apple Store Black Friday Sale in Australia is under way.

Aussie shoppers could save only $31 on an iPad 2 16GB 3G, but the savings amount to $65 for iPad 64GB Wi-Fi. Shoppers of MacBook Air 13in (256 GB) can save $105 or 6.2% off the original price. The sum of $105 is somewhat a fixed MacBook Air and Pro discount, as it is taken off other Macbook products.

Lifehacker Australia has summarized the Apple store items subject to discounts here.

The savings range from modest to just okay, but shoppers are keen on buying, anyway. It is, after all, Thanksgiving! And what better way to say 'thank you' for discounts than by making an actual purchase?

Now if only the U.S. Apple Store could get back on track.
