iPad to Hit Stores March 26?

This big rumor in iPad land is that Apple is planning to release the device on March 26 at Apple retail stores, meaning another crazy spectacle outside of every Apple store in America, speculates MacRumors.

Still nothing from Apple on pre-ordering. Maybe there won’t be pre-ordering, just pandemonium at the stores? Other rumors are circulating that the first iPad TV commercial will air on the 15th, and that store employees will beginning training on the iPad on the 10th, lucky bastards.

It’s also rumored that folks who camp out to get an iPad will get a free gift of some kind. So, will you be there, camped out for days?
