Call and find out?

Man that sucks, well the good news is you bought one of the easiest devices to take apart, if you don't have a Verizon contract I would look to you homeowners insurance to see if they would cover replacement, if renting possibly rental insurance, otherwise I would check with the manufacturer, in this case Motorola or Gorilla Glass about either fixing it or a replacement part, again since you have the advantage of a unit that is fairly simple to break down you should be able to do it yourself; there are already several parts breakdowns on the web. Good luck.

I should note it would also depend on whether you just broke the outside glass or the LCD display itself, if only the glass, probably easy, if the LCD display, well that might involve some soldering, hopefully a connector.

I'd also try 3rd-party iPad repair services and see if any can service you, or give you pointers as to where to go. There are already millions of iPads out in the field, and cracked glass damage is probably the most common.

You can start here, http://google.com/search?q=ipad+glass+repair

$299 ouch.

Eeww, I suppose Gorilla Glass isn't as tough as I thought?

There isn't a pane of glass in the world that wouldn't crack if you dropped it on the corner....

Yeah point taken. Still dang freak accident.

Oh Damn, beauty got scratches. ;(. Try calling motorola to see what they can do about it. That is why a case is so important.
