The Apple iPad was a hot item before hitting store shelves across the nation, and now the updated version featuring Wi-Fi and 3G accessibility is attracting attention with a U.S. release date set for April 30.
Apple customers are able to pre-order the new iPad online and will receive the item on April 30. Apple stores around the country will start selling the new iPad at 5:00 p.m. on the same day, and Apple is anticipating some regions will sell out quickly.

The iPad weighs only 1.6 pounds and is half an inch thick, making it more portable than any laptop on the market. The new version has a 10-hour battery life, and Apple store representatives said they will provide free personal set-up for those who need help customizing their new iPad.
AT&T is marketing prepaid 3G data plans for the new iPad, and there will be an on-screen application helping users manage their accounts.
The suggested retail prices at Apple stores in the U.S. for the iPad with Wi-Fi are $499 for 16GB, $599 for 32GB, and $699 for 64GB. The models featuring Wi-Fi and 3G have the retail of $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB, and $829 for 64GB, as listed on Apple.com.
