Apple is now accepting pre-orders for its hotly anticipated iPad tablet. Apple made the iPad available for online pre-order on Friday morning, meaning you must now once again reset your countdown clock timer for the device’s ship date of April 3. Reservations are limited to two per customer. The iPad comes in three capacities: 16-, 32, and 64GB. It features built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, an accelerometer, company, speaker, and microphone. It also has a built-in iTunes store, sync to Macs and PCs via USB, and gets 10 hours of battery life.
Pricing starts at $499 for the 16GB Wi-Fi-only model. A 3G radio raises the cost to $629 and also adds a delivery delay: The company is promising 3G-equipped iPads in late April. The 32GB model lists for $599 and the 64GB model sells for $699, both of which cost $130 more with 3G capabilities.
