The new iPad (yes that is its name) is available for pre-order today in the US and will be released on March 16.
The release date of March 16 is for the US and nine other countries: Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia.
As you’d expect, the Apple store online is having some issues at the moment. When I hit the Pre-order Now button the page fails to load. The Apple Store app on the iPad itself is working OK though as far as I can see. If you want to get a pre-order in right away I’d recommend going that route.

Big Question will be the 4G service plans do you think ATT / VERZION will go unlimited … because service plans will determine the real value to having the 4G
No chance of unlimited plans for this. Carriers are all moving away from unlimited, not towards it.
Looks like the Apple Store app is down too now. All i get is a We’ll be back soon
Still down as of this writing but the promo page is up …
It’s up, just ordered mine for delivery on the 16th
