So what's the big difference between the iPad and the iPad 3G? Aside from a $130 price bump, GPS capabilities, and an internal 3G cellular modem, there's not much to say.

But if you really want the nitty-gritty details over the cosmetic differences, the micro-SIM tray, the extra options in the Settings menu, signing up for a 3G account, and the glorified paper clip that comes in the box, I've put together a photo gallery that runs through everything.

If all that pointing and clicking feels like too much trouble, here's a First Look video that covers all the details in full-screen HD glory.
