Anyone get shipping info on one of these yet? Still shows as "processing". Wondering if a Rogers store might be a better bet (and just shell out the $10)???

Any Rogers store (or dealer) will sell you a SIM. Just have to ask for a micro SIM - there's nothing iPad-specific about the ones from Apple.

I could be wrong, but I think the LTE sim cards are different (same size, etc as a standard micro-sim, though)?

AFAIK, after speaking with my Rogers rep, the only difference is the LTE ones are LTE-branded. For instance, there's no functional difference between the standard SIMs and the Rocket Stick SIMs - they're interchangeable.

Some older SIMs do have issues with LTE, but not the ones from the past year or two.

Excellent, thanks! Wonder what the delay is....strange.

Looks like Apple is shipping a allowing you to switch between carriers more easily now, though a Verizon iPad won't get LTE service on AT&T.
