Apple is to start selling its iPad tablet PC from the 3rd April in the US, although it is yet to confirm the launch date for its international rollout.
The US launch date comes slightly later than originally announced. Unveiling the touchscreen multi-media device on January 27, the California company behind the iPod, iPhone and Macintosh computer had said the iPad would be “available in late March worldwide.” Apple said it would be accepting pre-orders from US customers at its online store from March 12 for the iPad, which allows users to watch video, listen to music, play games, surf the Web or read electronic books.

The iPad also runs most of the 150,000 applications made for the iPod music player and the iPhone. Apple said Friday the device would come with “12 new innovative apps designed especially for iPad.”
The iPad model featuring Wi-Fi wireless connectivity will be available in Apple’s US stores from April 3 and the model which offers both Wi-Fi and 3G cellular connectivity in late April, Apple said.
The company said both the Wi-Fi and 3G models will be available in Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland in late April and in additional countries later this year.
Apple said international pricing will be announced in April.
The cheapest iPad model, with Wi-Fi connectivity and 16GB of memory, is $499 while the most expensive — which includes 3G connectivity and 64GB of memory — costs $829.
