sweet! [IPad]

[MEANZ06]

Just picked one up. Neat little toy :dance:

16gb wifi only but suits my needs for surfing just fine. :yesnod:

Question: what does the 3G do to help these things?

[CP]

3G gets you on the cell phone network when wifi isn't available.

Not much. Get a 4G phone (it helps if you have unlimited data), hack it, and use the wi-fi hotspot for free. That's why I bought the wifi only iPad.

3G sucks cash out of your wallet when wifi isn't available.

Fixt. :thumbs:

Gotcha! :cheers:

Don't know if I'll need it though, only got this to share with the wife and kids around the house. I'll use my phone for those instances wifi isn't available.

I have an iPhone4 that work pays for so I'm good there... :D

iPhone. Is there a way to tether the 3G off it to the iPad?

Well, the best you'll get with that is 3G service. You can share the connection via wifi by either letting the company pay the $30.00/month and data charges or jail break it to bypass that (data charges still apply, though)

You can do it through the settings and network menu iirc and you dont care about the extra monthly charges.

I'll need to read up on this. It would be cool to get 3G service through my phone to this...

Anyone have links to do so? :dance:
