Apple is launching the iPad Wi-Fi + 3G in the US today, and if you're planning to pick one up at your local Apple Retail Store, it's been confirmed they're closing from 4pm to 5pm local time to get ready for you.

No doubt they'll be stocking up and getting the demos ready, but will there be crowds again?

Let us know if you're planning to check it out, or if you're sitting at home waiting for the delivery truck to come to you.
