Apple Planning To Launch the iPad In Canada (and Worldwide?) On April 24th?

It looks like Canadians could be getting the iPad starting on April 24th. Apparently, there's a "black out period" on this day for staff and employees that work in the Apple Store, which means that you can't book this day off. Obviously, this means that something is up. This may not only affect Canadians since this could be the international launch day as well.

To add fuel to the fire, there's a rumour going around that states that pre-orders for the iPad will start this Friday, April 2nd.
