Apple announced retail availability of the iPad 3G for Friday, April 30th at 5:00 pm.
The iPad 3G includes Wi-Fi but also allows you to join AT&T’s data network on an at-will basis. Rather than being locked to a 2-year contract, iPad 3G users can purchase a month of data at a time. Two plans are available: 250MB will cost $15/month and the unlimited plan is prices at $30/month.
