iPads Available
The iPad WiFi model is here. At the Clarendon Apple Retail store in Arlington, Virginia, there was a line for the opening. But by mid-morning, you could walk right up and buy one, even without a reservation.
My informal survey shows that nearly half the people are waiting for the 3G version instead of buying the WiFi-only model available today. The 3G model costs $130 more, allows the option to connect to AT&T’s 3G data network, and includes GPS.
These launch events appear to be our generation’s version of Woodstock, which doesn’t say good things about society. Still, the gadget lover in me feels like a kid in a brand new candy store.
