I bought my iPad on launch day back in May. Firstly the decision of what size to buy, as I didn’t think I could fill 64Gb as I don’t have that much music and films, I opted for the 32Gb with 3G, middle of the road.
I choose the 3G option because I was sure in my mind that I would need to use the Internet when I am out and about with the iPad. However, five weeks on and I haven’t even looked into tariffs, let alone activate it!! I have wifi at work and wifi at home and when I am using the iPad elsewhere, its to play a game or read a book that I have already downloaded in a wifi environment to make it quicker.
It may help though that I have an iPhone, so the odd time I need to use the internet to find out what time my favourite shoe shop opens, that does the job for me, but my advice is to have a long think about whether you really want to spend the extra money for the 3G or could you put it to better use.
This world is made up of a majority of techno-dependent folk, it comes to no surprise that the installment of the GPS application on the iPad 3G made it a big win for the iPad fans.

iPad is good enough without 3G slot, we can invest better the money, enough having wi-fi connection. What is bad is that we don’t have usb connection, it’s basically an iPhone a bit bigger. Yes, we can sync from our computer lots of things but other than that we cannot use the iPad like we use for instance the laptop/netbook. It’s more like a reader than like a PC.

You may be right, 3G could help in business trips or meetings but other than that wi-fi is enough, I wouldn’t invest in 3G, also if you already have iPhone, better to try to avoid investing in iPad. Too many gadgets and less time to use everyone
