Lucky iPad fans, today is the day. Pre-order your iPad starting today, March 12, on apple.com. The WiFi models will be available to you on April 3rd, and the WiFi + 3G models will be available in late April but both are available for pre-order starting today.

Sources say that if you pre-order using apple.com, the iPad will SHIP on April 3rd. That doesn't mean you will get it on the 3rd. However, if you call in to a local Apple store to pre-order, you will GET your iPad on April 3rd. So, all you Apple fanatics, you might want to place your order at the store.
