In other news: The Chinese government has now approved the Apple iPad 3G for sale in China, and a confirmation has been made by an Apple spokesperson that the company indeed is releasing a 3G version of its popular tablet in the Chinese market.

Caroline Wu, the Apple spokesperson has declined to comment on a particular release date or timeframe in which iPad 3G can be expected to appear in the Chinese marker for sale.

Currently in China, Apple only sells the Wi-Fi version of the iPad, which is marketed as WLAN in China, the reason behind that was restrictions from the Chinese government. However, now China’s Ministry of Industry and Radio Authority website shows that the council has approved the iPad 3G devices.

Now, restrictions aside, China’s premier carrier, China Unicom, can start selling the Apple iPad 3G, legally.
