iPad launches on April 3rd, pre-orders begin March 12th

Word from Apple is out -- so get your credit cards ready. The iPad will be launching on Saturday April 3rd (and on the shelves, er... display tables at Apple retail stores), but you'll be able to plunk down cold, hard cash for it in just a week. Pre-orders will begin on March 12th for the US version (non-3G) for that April street date, with the 3G version coming in late April along with iPads for eager buyers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK. Says our man Steve Jobs: "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 and fun way than ever before." Remember, it's magic. US pricing will be as follows (just in case you need to figure out how many piggy banks to smash):

• 16GB WiFi only -- $499
• 32GB WiFi only -- $599
• 64GB WiFi only -- $699
• 16GB WiFi + 3G -- $629
• 32GB WiFi + 3G -- $729
• 64GB WiFi + 3G -- $829

Need more info? Full PR after the break!
