iPad Wi-Fi + 3G start to ship, data plan details posted on AT&T site
We’ve heard from a couple readers that they’ve received shipping notifications with tracking numbers for their iPad Wi-Fi + 3G so it looks like that Friday, April 30 release date is firming up.
For their part, AT&T posted a online PDF document that detailing their data plans for the new 3G equipped iPad.
Some of the highlights that you may not be aware of are as follows:
- Your service will automatically renew every 30 days to provide a more seamless data experience.
- If you choose to select the 250 MB plan and go over that amount of data in your selected plan before the 30 day period is over, you have the option to choose to purchase another 250MB of data, or simply select the unlimited plan and either choice will be good for 30 days from the date you activated the new plan.
- All data plans for iPad include access to more than 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots nationwide at no additional cost.

Still ‘Prepared for Shipment’ with no update.
I live on the East Coast, so I’m officially beginning to worry.
Still prepared for shipment as well. East coast. Not confident it is going to arrive
Shipping notification & tracking info received this morning. Time stamp was 3:24 AM. Shipping to surburban Boston.
I received notification in my morning eMail, Thursday 4/29, that my pre-ordered Apple iPad 3G 64GB has shipped. Also received my FedEx Tracking Number. Notice said my iPad 3G will be delivered by 3PM Friday April 30
Of course, I called the Apple Store folks. I was told I would definately receive my iPad tomorrow.
The lack of a confirmation number for FedEx still worries me though.
what about international travelers?
Shipping notification email 9:10am this morning. Shipping to NYC area. Fedex overnight. Tracking number not in fedex’s system yet.
got a shipped notice and tracking number for the Ipad 3G. Fed-Ex to deliver it by 3 pm tomorow the 30th.
Still waiting on shipping conformation. Live on long island NY. Im worried i wont get mine tomorrow. But im wondering if they are setting it up for people not to get their iPads before 5pm at night everywhere because thats what time the are released in stores. We all know how crazy Apple is with release dates.
Asheville nc and I still have no update tracking. Nothing. I am going crazy
Received shipping message during the wee hours of the morning. Should arrive tomorrow. Ordered mine on April 10, so was a bit surprised. Thought I might be too late for the first go-round of 3G iPads.
No email. Only “prepared for shipment”. In Michigan. I want my iPad.
Washington D.C.: Received my shipping notification at 7:00AM this morning from Apple. I checked the FedEx site and the package was picked up at Middleton, PA this morning at 4:59AM and is expected to be in my hands at 3:00PM tomorrow. Booyah! iPad 64GB Wifi + 3G (:
My 16GB version still says “Prepared for Shipment” it’s also being delivered to Michigan.
UPDATE:
Shipped on: Apr 29, 2010 via FEDERAL EXPRESS
Update:
My iPad WIFI + 3G will be arriving @ my house by 3pm tomorrow.
I live on long island. Excited!!
Got my shipping confirmation today at 1:22am. Shipping to DC area.
Recieved confirmation early Thursday morning of Overnight FedEx with tracking number to be delivered by 3pm in Okklahoma City area
Thus sucks I have nothing.
Nothing here either. Portland Oregon area. I ordered on April 3rd. Status still says Prepared for Shipment.
Ordered mine March 12. Nothing nothing NOTHING. In California. Maybe the west coast ships later in the day…?
UPDATE Decided to check my order status on apple.com. I have a FedEx number there but did not receive an email. Weird, but I can live with it.
I ordered my 64GB 3g April 3, says prepared for ship. Earlier this week my credit card had pending amount, that disappeared a day later. My guess is that they were checking funds for later shipping. Still wonder how it’s going to get here by tomorrow if it doesn’t ship from somewhere close. Live in Florida
I saw a posting yesterday (sorry, don’t remember what site). It said that Apple had positioned the units in regional warehouses across the country so they could ship to all locations on time. Hopefully that is true.
I’ve got a tracking number!! Yay! Mine also says that it will be here in Washington State by 3pm! I have my fingers crossed!
I can confirm that i recieved nothing! Worse yet: there exists for as yet not even a release date of the iPad in The Netherlands! ;-( Apple: shame on you!
Mine is being shipped from Rancho Cordova, Southern California. I am in Northern California–easy stuff for FedEx
Apr 29, 2010 2:38 PM Arrived at FedEx location NEWARK, NJ Apr 29, 2010 9:26 AM Shipment information sent to FedEx Apr 29, 2010 4:58 AM Picked up MIDDLETOWN, PA
The interesting part is that it was picked up in Middletown, BEFORE the shipping information was sent. That likely means that the source saying the units were indeed pre-placed in mutliple locations for delivery tomorrow.
I would expect everyone who pre-ordered one of the 3G units will get a confirmation number by tonight at the latest, but even so, it looks like your new iPad is already no more than a couple of hours away from you and likely in driving distance for the FedEx trucks tomorrow.
shipped today, thursday,with fedex tracking number for delivery on friday by 3. texas
SHIPPED!!! Picked up in Rancho Cordova, CA. Going to Portland Or. Delivery by 3pm Friday!!!
Same as BobH except coming to San Diego. Glad they held to their promised arrival date. Makes the weekend a little more exciting.
Received email in the early AM, I spoke to fedex and they confirmed delivery by 1500 EST! Apparently Apple had placed the iPad in strategic warehouse locations roughly a week or so ago AFTER AT&T finished doing their part! So they were ready all along! Ironically the accessories came from overseas in bulk to the warehouses!
Shipping to the west coast from a pick up site in California, for delivery on April 30 before 4:30. Tracking number shown on apple store account website. Apple confirmed by phone.
I guess this is the only place I can say what I’m really feeling. My wife doesn’t get it. She cares very little about tech, but let me just say… I am FREEKIN EXCITED AS SH#T!!!! I got a tracking number for my iPad 3G and it’s coming by 10:30A EST, I’m in Maryland. Well, so much for work tomorrow, I know what I’ll be doing! W00T
Rec’d it!!! 1:30pm in Oregon. Yeah!!!
