Citing an unnamed Apple store manager in Souther California, Daryl Deino of The Examiner reported Tuesday evening that the definitive release date has not yet been determined, but the March 26 date is "very likely." As was announced at its unveiling, the 3G-enabled models will arrive about a month later.

And while employees will be trained starting March 10, commercials will allegedly begin to air on TV starting March 15. Those TV spots are expected to emphasize the e-book capabilities of the device." Via AppleInsider .

MacRumors is now reporting that the iPad release will mirror the launch of the 1st iPhone with Apple Retail Stores beginning to sell the device @ 6 p.m. on Friday March 26th.
