While Apple announced that the iPad would go on sale at the end of March, we've yet to hear official details about the actual sale date and procedure.
We have heard whispers the Apple is planning on launching the iPad at retail stores on Friday, March 26th at 6 p.m. in similar fashion to the original iPhone launch.
A blog post from the Examiner now makes similar claims of a March 26th launch date with Apple store employees getting training on the device starting on March 10th. The author also claims that the commercials will begin airing on March 15th. Finally, those who camp out for the iPad will receive a "special gift".
The 3G enabled version of the iPad will follow the Wi-Fi iPad launch by about 30 days, according to Apple.

This is getting very exciting! I hope 3/26 is the day. It would be so nice to have an iPad before the end of the month!

I wonder how that works for Pre-Orders then if a release time of 6PM is how it goes.

What could that special gift be? The promise of something like this could help generate lines. My guess: t-shirts.
No way I'm waiting in line for a first generation iPad. This is way too much hype for a crippled tweener device, expensive magazine reader that could be the equivalent of WebTV.

I just hope I can buy it online. Standing in a line for hours has no appeal to me at all.

Bugger, I forgot about the time-zone. I also forgot the fact that I haven't made up my mind about the iPad yet. There're so many annoyances...
