Apple Confirms, iPad Pre-Orders To Start Tomorrow at 8:30AM EST

 

With months of hype, anticipation and excitement the wait is finally over. The iPad is here or at least you can Pre-order it starting tomorrow at 8:30am EST Friday. That's 5:30am, Pacific.

Tomorrow at the crack of dawn you have the option to either get a Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi+3G equipped model, on their respective release dates of April 3rd and "Late April." If you pre-order through your local store over the phone, you can expect to get your iPad day of launch; or if you pre-order through Apple's website, which might be the only option for West Coasters, they'll ship it on launch day, but no earlier. (Speculations are that stores will have set-aside a number of units for pre-order anyway, so don't worry about getting yourself out bed before your local store open.)
