Apple Confirms iPad WiFi+3G Launch for This Month

By Timothy R. Butler | Apr 19, 2010 at 13:47:44

OFB has learned that the cellular enabled version of Apple’s iPad tablet device is still scheduled to ship to customers by the end of April. UPDATED.

Rumors on the Internet over the last week had suggested that the launch of the iPad WiFi+3G might be bumped up to correspond to the worldwide launch of both the WiFi and WiFi+3G versions at the end of May. This was in contrast to Apple’s claimed ship date of “late April” for preorders.

The non-3G version was launched in the United States at the beginning of the month.

SOURCE: Apple, Inc.

Early this afternoon, the Cupertino, CA-based company notified pre-order customers that the device was on still on schedule for late-April shipment “as communicated at the time you placed your order.” With eleven days remaining in the month, this means the 3G iPad launch will occur within the next week and a half.

Meanwhile, new orders for the cellular-enabled version of the iPad have been bumped up to May 7. Non-3G orders continue to ship within the 5-7 day window the company has been following for the last few weeks.

Update: Apple has confirmed April 30 as the launch date for the iPad WiFi+3G. Pre-orders made prior to yesterday will be delivered on that date and stores will start selling the device at 5:00 PM on that day.

The Danger of Peacemaker

By Timothy R. Butler

Here is a story. The leaders of a church have a personal agenda against someone and want to quiet him, exact revenge or what have you. They not only come at him within their church, they continue by following him outside of that church to any other church he seeks refuge at and any place he works, making a wreck of his life in the process. That is the sort of thing that only happened in the past, in dusty tales of witch-hunts in Salem or the Inquisition in Spain, right? Wrong: it is happening today, perhaps at a seemingly normal church near you.
