Apple® today announced that the Wi-Fi + 3G models of its magical iPad™ will be delivered to US customers who’ve pre-ordered on Friday, April 30, and will be available in Apple retail stores the same day starting at 5:00 p.m.
Good news for those who have had the patience to wait on the 3G model. Also kinda fun to see how Apple keeps working ‘magical’ into nearly all their references to the iPad.
Here is a further slice of Apple’s press release, with details on pricing and outlets where it will be sold:
Pricing & Availability
The Wi-Fi + 3G models will be available on April 30 in the US for a suggested retail price of $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB and $829 for 64GB. iPad is sold in the US through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores, most Best Buy stores, select Apple Authorized Resellers and campus bookstores.
I’m trying to figure out whether I may sell (or hand down) my WiFi iPad and upgrade to a 3G model. Very tempting.

I have put my pre-order in for this model – but the price point is still wayy to high i find. THe only reason its so high is not to pay for the unit – but all the marketing that went behind it.
Yeah, these models really are steep.
