Apple to begin selling iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G model in China on Wednesday

Apple received approval to sell the iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G model in China two weeks ago, and according to The Mac Observer sales will begin on Wednesday. The 3G-capable model of the iPad 2 has already been on sale in China for some time via the country's rather extensive "grey market," but it will now be available via official channels.

Starting Wednesday, the iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G will be available in China through Apple's website, its official retail stores, and authorized resellers. The Mac Observer notes there's no official word yet whether China Unicom will offer the tablet, nor has pricing info been released yet (and, knowing Apple, it probably won't be until the device appears on Apple's own site).
