Even if the 3G version of the iPad is slated to start shipping at the end of April due to some delays, it seems that Apple had put some effort into speeding things up.

    This is why a few users have reported that shipping has already begun as they were announced by Fedex via email. Store availability is another story, as you’ll be able to get your 3G iPad from Apple Store and Best Buy starting April 30th at 5pm.

    As we’ve told you before, the 3G data plans can be activated from the tablet itself with no contract and options for 14.99$/250 MB and 24.99/unlimited transfers. Pricing for the three models is as below:

    • Apple iPad WiFi+3G model 16 GB – 629$
    • Apple iPad WiFi+3G model 32 GB – 7299$
    • Apple iPad WiFi+3G model 64 GB – 829$

    If you don’t care that much about 3G (I know I don’t as tablets for me are home computing devices) take a look at your alternatives of buying the iPad here.
