iPads Reportedly Headed to Reviewers Later This Week

We've heard from an industry source that Apple is either shipping iPads to reviewers this Thursday, or has already shipped them to be received this Thursday.
The report notes that it is unknown whether reviewers will receive Wi-Fi-only, Wi-Fi + 3G, or both types of iPads. U.S. customers will be able to obtain the Wi-Fi models beginning April 3rd but will have to wait until "late April" for 3G-capable models to become available.The exact list of reviewers receiving early access to the iPad is of course unknown, but it is a safe bet that such personalities as The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg, The New York Times' David Pogue, and USA Today's Ed Baig will be among those with hands-on reviews ready for publication as soon as Apple opens the door.

I'm really looking forward to more in-depth hands on reviews. It will be interesting to see what these reviewers say.

It seems like they would have let reviewers put this thing through the paces before they went on preorder status. I would have let people play with them in stores too. THey would be at 1 million ipads sold by now.

Where do I sign up to get an iPad for reviewing purposes?
Pretty sure there is a facebook page for that, or 5,000.

You can probably contact Apple Corporate PR and ask them for one. The worst they could say is no.25 months ago

Haha, I should call and demand one insisting the whole time, "it's only for reviewing purposes!"

Oh, Walt. You are the Siskel AND Ebert of technology. Many praises upon thee!
Bonus: you look sorta like my uncle Bill, but you don't give me noogies.
