First iPad Wi-Fi + 3G Arrives a Day Early

Engadget reports that despite Apple's plans for iPad Wi-Fi + 3G pre-orders to be delivered tomorrow in the U.S., at least one lucky customer has had their shipment slip through the cracks and be delivered a day early.
While no details on hidden differences between the 3G and Wi-Fi-only versions have been noted, the one image posted is clearly of a 3G-capable model as distinguished by the black plastic strip visible along the top edge (to allow for cellular signal access) and the status bar noting a connnection to AT&T's 3G network.

Lucky! I wonder if Apple is going to go after the shipping company that slipped?

Finally!
I would love to hear how this thing works with 3G service, lag wise... If it is a decent speed and interface on while connected only to 3G, I will be getting one very soon.

Apple will probably dislike that this happened but who cares?
If they are shipping out tens if not hundreds of thousands of these things, they got to believe that SOMEONE is going to get it early. They don't control everything in the whole world, well yet.....
