We’d previously heard some nasty rumors that Apple appeared to be delaying iPad shipments until June 7, ostensibly to prevent a bum rush of people grandfathering into AT&T’s $30 unlimited dead-plan-walking. Whether that’s really what was going on, we may never know — but the carrier’s making things right today by saying that it’ll let anyone ordering an iPad prior to June 7 get in on the $30 plan whether they’ve received their unit or not (and let’s be honest, if you order now, you’re definitely not getting it by Monday). When asked for an exact cutoff time, AT&T told us that you can push it all the way to 11:59PM on the 6th, so procrastinate all you want, you… procrastinator, you.

It looks like Pantech might be holding a secret and will launch a new smartphone in the near future, because the model P9020 just appeared at the FCC website today.

According to FCC, the Pantech P9020 can be considered a rather small touch-screen smartphone with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and uses HSDPA 3G data for a good internet connection, which is part of AT&T’s services.

Other details of the Pantech P9020 include bluetooth, gps navigation, music player, and a slot for memory cards. In terms of AT&T services it should probably include AT&T Navigator, Radio, the AppCenter for applications, and YPmobile.

Hey — what’s that? Oh right, it’s the LG eXpo, the slider with a pico projector jammed inside. Among other things, the full QWERTY slider’s packing a 1GHz CPU, a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 5 megapixel camera, a microSD slot, and of course that removable Texas Instruments projector. The just-announced handset bears quite a strong resemblance to the Monaco we heard about way back in May — though from the looks of it, its lost all of the brassiness we were so fond of. The eXpo runs Windows Mobile 6.5, and it will hit AT&T on December 7th for $199 after a mail in rebate with a two year contract — plus an additional $179 should you choose to opt in on that projector.
