Chat live during the iPad 3G release
You waited, you waited, and you waited. And now some of you finally got your new iPad 3G. Sure, most of you had to remain patient while us Wi-Fi owners preened and showed off our new babies. And some of you are still waiting for the next ship date (the "arrives by" in May).For some of you, though, your "magical" treasure is now on hand.
Whether you're waiting or a happy new owner, please join us to ask questions about your new iPad, or just share your iPad buying experience. This live TUAW community events will let you jumpstart your ownership experience and connect to other new 3G (and, yes, Wi-Fi) owners.

Is the Ipad 3g+wifi unlocked? I mean can I buy it in the US now and bring it home with me so when they launch international I can Activated in my Country? Just by Inserting the new microSim from the cellular data provider that apple chose in my Country?

The iPad works rather quickly over the network and very much like the iPhone can get reasonable speeds. I love it because now I'm not restricted to where I can use my iPad and can truly be a mobile user. This is the go between from my laptop and iPhone. Now I don't have to lug my Macbook around with a USB data card to do simple Internet, email, and video watching.
Waiting for the 3G version was so well worth the wait.
Am at Best Buy in Irvine. They will have only 5 64GB available at 5pm. Only 2 of us in line

We might be able to read all about it between now and whenever Apple lets everyone else out the US try it, but it would sure be nice to have this to ask questions when we get ours!
