This week, starting today more than likely, Apple will begin shipping their iPad 3G units to customers who have pre-ordered the iPad 3G prior to April 19th.
The new iPad 3G is expected to be even more popular than the first generation iPad – the iPad WiFi version.
The increased sales from the iPad 3G, along with upcoming announcements from Apple regarding a possible iPhone 4G and other possibilities of an iPhone being released on other carriers such as Verizon, should have a continue positive impact on Apple shares.
