Apple has officially released the launch date for the iPad on its web site. April 3rd is the day that the new iPad will ship. For those of you who just have to get your hands on one of these babies, pre-orders will begin on March 12.
The WiFi version of the iPad will ship on April 3rd, but you'll have to wait a few more weeks for the 3G enabled iPad. That product will ship sometime later in April.
"iPad is something completely new," said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. "We’re excited for customers to get their hands on this magical and revolutionary product and connect with their apps and content in a more intimate, intuitive and fun way than ever before."
Starting at just $499, iPad lets users browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch videos, listen to music, play games, read ebooks and much more. iPad is just 0.5 inches thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds—thinner and lighter than any laptop or netbook—and delivers battery life of up to 10 hours.
