News of the launch comes following an update to the Apple online store<\/a>, which finally details the U.S. availability of the 3G capable device.

But for those within the U.S., the wait for the 3G is now only a few weeks away, unless you’re Steve Wozniak that is<\/a>.<\/p>\n Apple has announced that the 3G model of the iPad will be made available on May 7.
