If you pre-ordered an iPad 3G, check your e-mail; you should have received a shipping notice from Apple informing you that your device is already on its way.
I received my shipping notification yesterday afternoon and a follow-up e-mail from Apple this morning that says, in part:
"Thank you for your recent purchase of the magical and revolutionary
Apple iPad.
We would like to advise you that your order is due to deliver on
time. You will receive a separate shipment confirmation email
today with tracking information for your order."
We've seen reports that a few people have already received their 3G iPads. Apple also informed subscribers of its marketing e-mails that units are now available at Apple Retail Stores or for purchase online.
As for data plans for the 3G iPad, Apple has a special page with instructions and information and AT&T has a PDF file that also explains how the data plans work. The two data options are either $14.99 a month for 250 MB of data or $29.99 per month for unlimited data. Users also get access to all of AT&T's Wi-Fi Hot Spots.
