iPad Set for Delivery April 3

Apple has announced that they will be taking pre-orders for the highly-touted iPad on March 12th and will be set for delivery on April 3rd. I know I will be placing my order on the 12th and I am definitely looking forward to reviewing it shortly after that.

Kevin C. Tofel, from JkOnTheRun, had this to say about the announcement, “So while there’s no specific updates to the iPad features, specs or functionality, the availability and pre-order dates beg the question of who’s buying. Over at GigaOm, we’re running a poll on that topic, but I’ve added it here for our readers. As much as I agree with the “it’s just a big iPod Touch” sentiment, I think there’s still an unknown and that’s the experience brought by the form factor. This might be a device that you have to hold and use before making a purchase decision. I expect to do just that on April 3 before I decide. The iPad is already under consideration for my retooled mobile toolkit, especially now that I’ve dumped my iPhone. If I can get my daily work done in the the browser, it just might work for me and would let me use the iPhone apps I’ve already invested in. Since I now have a MiFi in my gadget bag, I’d be opting for a Wi-Fi model and simply use my existing Verizon plan for web connectivity as needed.”
