WCDMA iPad 3 Gets Regulatory Approval in China?

MarketWatch reports that an Apple device compatible with China Unicom's mobile network has received a network access license from China's Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center.

The device, listed as "model number A1430" is compatible with the 3G standard wide band code division multiple access, or WCDMA. The language used by the regulator suggests the device is the new iPad, which has yet to launch in China.
