Wondering when you can get your hands on an iPad 3G? (Or if you should spring for it?) We've got answers.

Apple's iPad, which officially hits stores April 3, will be available in a Wi-Fi-only model, as well as a Wi-Fi+3G version.

However, if you're hoping to get the iPad 3G, you'll have to wait until 'late April,' according to Apple (unless you're Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, who's already picked up his 3G iPad).

Note that the iPad 3G's cellular network connection will be available exclusively through AT&T.
