The iPad 3G was delivered to customers on Friday, about a month after the launch of the Wi-Fi iPad. The main differences between the units are the inclusion of a 3G data module as well as GPS functionality in the newer model. iFixit has already performed a teardown of the new unit, though few surprises were found.

– Gizmodo notes that Netflix works over 3G but with down sampled video. ABC’s app, however, refuses to play over 3G and is Wi-Fi only.
– Dan Frommer suggests ABC’s 3G limitation is due to content licensing issues rather than a technical limitation imposed by either Apple or AT&T. When questioned, AT&T deferred to Apple for specifics.
