**UPDATE** 4/19/10 – I believe that Apple has just shipped your iPad 3G >> Check out this article for proof >> https://socialmediaseo.net/2010/04/19/breaking-apple-just-shipped-released-ipad-3g-orders/
iPad 3G & Worldwide Release Date April 24th?
Rumors are hitting the web as we speak that a spokesperson from Apple has confirmed April 24th as the global release date for the iPad.
So what happened last Saturday, April 3rd, was just the United States release, and now the rest of the world can start buying the iPad on April 24th.
Is April 24th also the release date for the iPad 3G?
We still do not have a solid release date for the much anticipated iPad 3G.
In many regards, I think we can expect the 3G release to be a bigger hit than the first generation iPad that was released last Saturday. And on the iPads debut here in the US, Apple ended up selling 300,000 iPads!
So if April 24th is the release date for the iPad to go worldwide, can we also expect it to be the day that we see the iPad 3G made available?
What are you thoughts?

Honestly I hoPe so! DO you have any idea how hard it is seeing people out there with their wifi versions already? APPle should have made both models available on day 1!
I agree whole heartedly!! This is pure torture!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one. Although, to be fair, this is probably an AT&T issue--par usual. All-in-all, I'm happy with AT&T service as I don't live in New York or LA, but the delay in MMS, the fact that I still can't tether my iPhone with my MacBook and now . . . this gut wrenching wait for my 3G iPad . . . when will the madness end?
I have a solid source and i would put your money on April 28th. It will be in stores and that will be the date of arrival for the IPAD 3G. Yep you heard it hear first
I might believe you if your english grammar ability was a little sharper :)
Sp. ?? Usage ?? - "Yep [Oy!] you heard it hear [Oy Oy Oy, it's 'here' not hear] first.
No sir, you will get it on the 30th if you ordered early enough, not the 28th. Just wishful thinking or a psychotic episode.
thanks for this info
Don't feel bad... First fedex delivered my keyboard... Then my ipad dock.... Soon... and I do mean soon maybe my ipad will be here.... But I did get a wifi only 64 gig for the wife.... Cool product with great battery life... Hope that it is the same for the 3g version...
So here I bought the Wi-Fi last night thinking Philadelphia is all Wi-Fi. I am in center city and can't get a connection. I am selling it and am purchasing a 3g. I can't wait till my fingertips meet my new ipad 3g! Yes I am desperate. Hope the rumors of April 24th turns into a reality. Never I did I think I will feel this way over anything in my life.
I am going bonkers too. Finally broke down and went in the Apple store to get a wifi today. I figured I would play around with it and then return it when the 3g came out. No such luck, they're sold out of the wifi models. Uggggghhhh, I'm literally going nuts. This is a complete joke, they should of held the wifi version until all versions were ready to ship. Us customers who are paying MORE $$$ are getting the shaft!

Okay this comment is so stupid I can't resist commenting. US customers are paying more for what? Getting the shaft? Are you sure its an iPad you were looking for? Maybe it was an iDildo?
I couldn't wait. I preordered my 3G and broke down 3 days after wifi release and bought one for the rest of the family to use when my 3G comes in. It is a fun toy. @Michael
I bought a 16gb WiFi only and LOVE it, but I really want the 3G so I found someone to buy it from me for $510 and I am putting that toward the 3G version. ;)
Random endorsement, Belkin Grip View has been a great form fitting case. $50, but all the cases are over priced so might as well get the one closest to worth the price. -_-
im just waiting for the 3g realease so that i can release my jailbreak...
what kind of losers buy something try it and return it? Who is supposed to pay for that? You are crooked.
what a silly a*s you are! do youknow how much profit apple is making on this item [ made in china with cheap labor] i am also taking my one back after playing with it for 14 days and will pick up a 3g one instead. plz dont be a jobs worth jim
