“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, an fun way than ever before.”
Starting next week on March 12, U.S. customers will be able to place pre-orders for both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + 3G models through Apple’s online store, or reserve a Wi-Fi model to pick up on April 3 at an Apple retail store.
