AT&T and Verizon to Get the New iPad on March 16th

Yep, it seems both of the big carriers are getting the new iPad on the same day now with the same prices starting at $529.99. Not sure how that’s going to work though as the Apple site lists them as not being available for another 2-3 weeks, but the PR says you’ll be able to actually buy them in Verizon and AT&T stores on Friday the 16th. I don’t know….
