Apple's next portable product will be available in stores and online in less than a month, though the 3G models have still yet to have a release date nailed down. Interested customers can start pre-ordering the product in just one week.

The first models of Apple's next new product, the iPad, will be available online and in Apple stores on Saturday, April 3. The Wi-Fi-only versions of the iPad, which run from $500-700 can be purchased in Apple stores and on Apple.com on that day, with the 3G version going on sale later in the month. Pre-orders for both models will start one week from today.

Apple also announced that all iPad models would be available internationally later in April--namely, in Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and Switzerland--with pricing for other countries to be determined. Now that the release date is known and pre-orders will soon be taken, are you going to pick up an iPad at launch?
