3G iPad arrived

Finally! the FedEx folks really had me watching my door today.
Didn’t want to miss them and chase a truck all over town ;-)

Attaching a few photos to this post that show the packaging is very similar to non-3G iPad.

The only real difference is that Apple includes a special tool to extract the SIM card.
You should be able to see that tool in the photo showing contents of box.

My new 3G iPad took me about 3 minutes to register onto the ATT network but signal is so bad inside my house, I had to stand in back driveway to do it. I expected that… and I plan on doing speedtest to show ATT 3G speeds with weak signal, and signal improved by some Wilson Electronics wireless amplifiers that I will be testing.

For those curious about the process to register for ATT 3G service, check out this new Apple Support Doc

Right now, my new 3G iPad is synching up photos/music/apps/etc with my Mac Pro… so I’ll report more on it, later!
