Since the 3G SIM card is optional, wonder if that means the device is carrier-unlocked, unlike the iPhones?

Analysts and critics will now have 60 days to mull over Apple’s newest product before the first version of the iPad – equipped with wireless but not 3G cellular capability – is available for purchase. Unlike the iPhone launch, however, Canadians will be able to get their hands on the iPad at the same time as everybody else. Because the device will eventually be sold unlocked, Canadians should be able to buy an iPad and use their own SIM cards in the tablet, or simply use it on a Wi-Fi network.
