Apple just announced today that its new iPad tablet will be available in Apple stores on Saturday, April 3. That date is 66 days after the January 27 announcement, at which Apple said the product would be available in 60 days.

One caveat: Only the Wi-Fi version of the iPad will be available on April 3. The pricier Wi-Fi + 3G version, which allows wireless access via AT&T’s network (at additional monthly cost), won’t be available until late April, the company said.

Consumers can pre-order both versions of the iPad from Apple’s online store starting March 12.
