Great. I have an additional question. I assume that the Ipad can access Google maps using the Unicom SIM card over the internet. So if I am in Guangzhou and I look at satellite view in Google maps on the IPad and see different parts of the city.
Does the GPS in the IPad 3G work in China? In the USA, the IPad 3G will tell me my location using GPS (or GPS A using the cell phone towers). When I move in my car or walking the IPad will update my position on Google maps.
Will the IPad 3G also receive GPS location instructions in China, or is this data blocked or restricted??

Howdy! Thanks to IpadOne for the answer to my IPad question. It may sound not so important, but I sometimes wander around China in the city I am visiting, and with my limited Chinese skills, having a GPS (even it it is accurate in 1 or 2 blocks) that works with Google Maps so I can see the satellite view would be great!
I can explore and take trains between towns and have a good idea where I am located... if I should get off at one stop or the next. Until I learn to communicate better this should be a very helpful tool.
And I can also use the 'Google Translate' feature with the internet service... or something similar if Google is blocked.
Cheers!
