Confirmed: iPad To Launch April 3rd
Yesterday, we ran a story reporting on a rumored release date for the iPad. Apple just confirmed that rumor as false – the “magical and revolutionary” iPad is launching on April 3rd.
Well, the Wi-Fi version, anyway. The model that can tap into AT&T’s 3G network arrives in “late April.”
The model will be shipping with 12 apps built in, all designed specifically for the iPad, and obviously the iPad will be able to run any of the 150,000 apps in the iTunes App Store as it is simply a gigantic iPhone.
Here’s a short little bullet of information from Apple HQ:
iPad will be available in Wi-Fi models on April 3 in the United States for a suggested retail price of $499 for 16GB, $599 for 32GB, $699 for 64GB. The Wi-Fi + 3G models will be available in late April for a suggested retail price of $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB and $829 for 64GB. iPad will be sold in the United States through the Apple Store® (www.apple.com), Apple’s retail stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.
