It is official — and it looks like Larry and I won’t be camping out waiting for the iPad. Nope, Apple is making it easy to get the iPad when it is released in just under a month.

Apple just released word that WiFi models of the iPad will be available for pre-order on March 12 and will go on sale on April 3. The WiFi and 3G models will come a few weeks later.

Even better, the devices can be pre-ordered online or at a local Apple retail store starting next week.
