Apple (and AT&T) fanboys, fear not – in an official press statement, Apple has finally revealed that the date that you can buy the 3G iPad models is April 30. Starting at 5PM local time, you can snatch yours in person at your closest Apple retail store, or those who pre-ordered one can look forward to seeing it arrive the very same day. International users will still have to wait for theirs an extra month, although a few might be shipped across the seas before it is officially on sale in other continents. PR after the break.
