Expect lines for new iPad at stores

If you want the new iPad tomorrow and haven't yet ordered one, you'll have to get in line.

The basic iPad, Apple's third version -- sporting a faster processing chip and a sharper screen -- will retail for $499 to $699, depending on the amount of storage. Models capable of accessing the new 4G cellular network will cost $629 to $829. Those who want 4G iPads will have to choose either AT&T or Verizon Wireless ahead of time.

After it goes on sale Friday in the United States and nine other countries, Apple will make the tablet available in 25 additional countries a week later, mostly in Europe, the company said.

Besides the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, countries getting it Friday are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The company will still sell the previous model, the iPad 2, for $100 off the old price. The basic model now costs $399 and the cellular version, working with 3G networks, costs $529.
