iPad 3G now going to be available April 30th!
Looks like shipments came in one week earlier than promised. I believe if you drop by an Apple store or Best Buy in the morning you will be able to buy one.
iPad!
Steve Jobs has announced the iPad this morning. For the love of god, how did they come up with such a bad name when they have such awesome names for their Mac OS versions?!
Gizmodo has live coverage that is funny to read and informative here.
They've recently posted video from the introduction and are currently posting pictures taken minutes after they are shown.
From what I can tell its supposed to have around extended netbook battery life (around 8 hours +), runs on modified iPhone OS (also runs your iPhone apps), but with more features available with new SDK, revamped homescreen/interface, has a 9.7" screen that isn't quite HD perspective but not 4:3, has an onscreen keyboard, plays games, functions as ebook reader (with iBooks), up to 64 GB of flash memory and I want one!

Crap! Its running off AT&T (iPad 3G version) :(
At least there is no contract required, and $29.99 monthly data seems reasonable.
