Official: The iPad App Store Launches April 3rd

As reported earlier, Apple started taking iPad apps submissions last night for the iPad App Store grand opening. While we knew it's coming, Apple had been very discrete so far as to when these iPad-specific apps everybody is going crazy about would be made available. Well, contacted by TUAW after the announcement, Apple confirmed that iPad apps will be made available starting April 3rd, along with the iPad.

"[W]e are looking forward to having an amazing line up of apps available when the iPad ships on April 3." The iPad App Store will launch at the same time as the iPad device.

Alright, it's not much of a surprise, but at least it's official now. On the other hand, we're still in the dark as to how will Apple present these on the store and I'd love to survey you about it. I'm thinking dedicated category, you?
