I have a WiFi-only iPad, so do not know what I'm talking about.
According to one source, only the US AT&T version can be used with SIMS from carriers in other countries. But you can get one that is universally compatible if ordered from Apple as 4G with no carrier specified.
Perhaps someone with a more reliable source can shed light on this. Or you can contact Apple directly!

iPads are not carrier locked. All new iPads 3G/4G have sim slots and will work with foreign sims. Wifi-only iPads do not have sim slots, for obvious reasons, no 3G or 4G capability.
Here are the specs from the most reliable source. http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ What is it that is not clear?

Can i exchange the new ipad that i bought yesterday even if i used and downloaded a few apps?

Can i exchange the new ipad that i bought yesterday even if i used and downloaded a few apps? I bought the 16g wifi only from apple store and wants to exchange it to 16g wifi with 3g.

You have a 14 day return period for iPad bought from the Apple store so yes, you can take it back for a refund and buy the 3G version instead.

I am a US citizen in school in Montreal and I was given a US Apple Store gift card. How can I buy the new iPad using my gift card and with a school discount?

I am a grad student from NYC and at a university in Montreal. I was given a 500$ gift card as a gift to put towards a new ipad. BUT, I apparently cannot use the US gift card in Canada. So, what do I do? I have no time to head back to NYC to get it. I want to order it, but not sure they will ship to montreal...? And was thinking of sending it back to my parents and then have them buy it and mail it to me, but I I think them having to pay tax on this is ridiculous. On top of that, I should be able to garner the ed discount but I dont think the US recognizes Canadian schools in their system and visa versa. SO if I do buy it in the US, I can use my gift card but I can't get the discount. Or if I buy it here in MTL, I can get the discount but I cannot use the gift card..
Can anyone suggest a solution? all bright ideas welcome.

You can only use a gift card in the country it was issued in - no way around that as the Apple Store does NOT offer currency exchange with gift cards.
Nor can you order from the USA online store and ship to any address outside of the USA - again, no way around that as the online stores do NOT ship internationally.
You could send the gift card back to someone in the USA, to use to purchase your item for you, and then once they receive it, they could ship it to you. Canada customs will hold it until they collect any import fees and taxes levied on imported consumer electronics though.
Either that or buy it in Canada with the discount, and use the card later when you get home again.

Can you buy the iPhone 4s that is free without a payment plan?

Hello. I recently found out that you can buy a free iPhone at the Online Apple Store. It's the iPhone 4s. It's pretty cool! Now, I already have internet at home, I don't make calls, so I wonder if I can get the iPhone with ought having a payment plan! I might as well take the chance of buying it. Ok thanks!

No. It's not. The phone is paid for by a carrier in exchange for signing a 2 year service agreement. It's "subsidised". NOT free.

Can I buy the New iPad from an Apple Online UK Store and ship it to Malta via DHL or UPS?

.

Only if it is sent it to a UK address and the those people forward it. Apple will only ship to an address in the country from which the device was purchased.

Can I buy a new ipd that takes a sim card to use with my local carrier? They only sell the ipad 2.

Can I buy a new iPad that uses a sim card to use with my local carrier? They only offer the iPad 2 for sale.

A quick Google search shows Union Wireless is GSM. Buy the AT&T version (GSM) iPad. You don't have to purchase iPad 2. You can purchase the newer iPad from Apple or Best Buy, or even Walmart. In either case, you get a micro sim from Union Wireless, purchase a data plan and enjoy.........

Can you still buy the new iPad(3generation)

I'm going to USA(i'm from sweden) in a couple of days and I flying home 1 november and Ipad 4 generation are relesed 2 november, so I wonder if I can still buy the third ipad now?

Again, you'll just have to call the stores and ask. The 3rd-generation iPad has been discontinued, so it will depend completely on a dealer having remaining stock. If not, then the iPad 2 will be the only model available for a while. You can also try your local Swedish dealers.

Im looking to buy the new ipad but Iv a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular...if one HAD to pick between the two what would u pick

I'm looking to buy the new ipad but I've a question. I can only afford either the 16gb with cellular or the 32gb without cellular. If one HAD to pick between bigger storage space or the added cellular which would u pick? Please help!

Like I said, I only have WiFi iPads, and don't know much at all about the data plans, but I don't think that you have to commit to a long term contract and I believe that there are plans that you can cancel at any time. My point is that if you sign up for a plan, and you use it say 4 months out of the year, you could be spending that money that you saved on the original cost of the iPad and even more in the future.
Actually, you can look at the AT&T plans here.

I purchased an ipad from a dealer on ebay with a 9 month warranty still on it. I set it up and decided to return it and buy the new Ipad instead. How can I be sure I didn't activate the warranty, or deactivate if it has been activated?

Sorry, I can't tell what it is you're trying to ask. What does the warranty have to do with your intention to return the iPad (to whomever) and get another one?
There's no way to deactivate a warranty.
The warranty transfers with the machine, has nothing to do with the owner.
Look around in the Support pages, you can figure out a way to type in your serial number and see what your current warranty status is.

Where is the best place to buy the new ipad? Please help

I am ready to buy a new ipad. There is no apple store in my town but I will be close to one in a couple of days. My town has Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Assuming I can find what I want... in case I have issues with it, where is the best place to purchase from?? (as far as ease of return, etc). Please advise.

Dah*veed ..... I do not disagree with what you said about the AppleCare+ protection plan as it does state on the website that proof of purchase is required - IF ... You purchase over the phone. Actually, I did not expect to be able to do this over the phone, but as I said I received the paperwork today via email.
I copied this from the website and I'm typing this on my new iPad so it may come out a little distorted but you can read the sentence at the bottom that says it can be done over the phone with proof of purchase. I gave the rep my serial number, confirmed my address and CC details and the deal was done. I even called back later in the day to make absolutely certain that I did in fact purchase the AppleCare+ plan that has the two incidents of accidental damage included for a $49.00 charge. The rep did in fact confirm that I did buy the correct plan that I wanted and I am looking at the printed paperwork confirming the whole thing.
Maybe I just got lucky!
iPad - AppleCare+
Every iPad comes with one year of hardware repair coverage and 90 days of telephone technical support. AppleCare+ for iPad gives you two years of repair coverage and technical support from the original purchase date of your iPad. And it adds coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage due to handling of your iPad, each subject to a $49 service fee.1
How to get AppleCare+
You must buy AppleCare+ within 30 days of your iPad purchase.
There are three ways to buy:
From the Apple Online Store: When you order the new iPad or iPad 2, you’ll have the option to add AppleCare+ to your cart before you check out.
At an Apple Retail Store (requires a Genius Bar appointment, inspection of the iPad, and proof of purchase).
By calling 1-800-275-2273 (requires proof of purchase).

Should I buy the new ipad or ipad 2?

The new ipad have just released and i still hesitate to buy the new ipad or ipad 2. I heard a lot of rumours saying that the new ipad is overheating. Can you guys give me a few comments????

All I can tell you is that my new iPad doesn't overheat, nor do the others that have been purchased in my company. In general it's been agreed by most objective observers that the problem was overblown, though undoubtely there are some units that overheat.
As to which you should get, that's up to you. I'm quite happy with the higher resolution of the new screen, but the iPad 2's screen was more than adequate. If you have an Apple Store or dealer who carries the iPad, I'd suggest you pay a visit and compare the screens for yourself. The back camera on the new iPad is certainly better, but I have had little need to use the cameras in either, so that's something you'll also have to decide for yourself.
Regards.
