Unlike a smart phone which people always have on them everywhere they go. Plus people with smartphones probably aren't very happy about the thought of paying for a separate 3G data plan for a tablet on top of their phone plan.
Delay sucks for those that do want the 3G model though. But makes sense if that's the reason, as they're goal is to sell as many as possible, and maybe they're seeing demand for WiFi units currently being larger than preorders for 3G models etc.

To answer the question if the 3G model was delayed to satisfy the WiFi model only demand - the answer is "No". I just received a notice from Apple this morning that my 3G model will be shipped out late April as originally promised.
