Apple is continuing its iPad rollout: Apple’s online store now says that the 3G-enabled versions of its tablet computing device will start shipping on May 7. The newly-firmed up shipping date appears to apply to new orders for the iPad 3G: customers who had previously pre-ordered versions of the 3G iPad are still being told by Apple that their devices will ship in late April…although, considering they’re shipping from China, they may not reach customers hands until May.
The availability of the 3G iPad so far only applies to customers in the United States: Apple isn’t set to launch the iPad in international markets until May 10. So far, Apple also hasn’t announced pricing information for international versions of the iPad.
Presumably the May 7th date will also correspond closely with the 3G iPad’s availability at Apple retail stores, as well as Apple resellers and channel partners like Best Buy.
