Apple iPad 2 hits FCC in a timely fashion for March 11th launch

It was just yesterday when Apple announced the iPad 2 and mere hours after, the slate hit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to pass all of the comission's rigorous testing. The official papers revealed that there will be three versions of the device:

- the Wi-Fi-only A1395

- the AT&T-bound A1396

- the A1397 for Verizon's CDMA network.

So much for those rumors of a single device for both carriers! AT&T's HSPA+ network and Verizon's LTE don't seem covered in the filing, so it looks like the new iPad will rely solely on 3G networks. It's coming out in a week, so we'll know all the details around that time!
