I could tether to my phone, but I'm not interested in doing that. I don't want my iPad drawing on my phone battery. I'm not interested in my-fi tethering, either. I don't want another device to charge and otherwise deal with. For me, $30 a month unlimited data is a bargain. I also like having GPS.
There's basically no way I'll buy a wi-fi-only tablet, unless it's a gift for someone with those type of uses. If someone gave me one, I'd exchange or sell it.

Given the type of responses maybe the question needs to be:
With exception and/or disregarding tethering, are you content with "wifi only" or prefer a "3G type" capability?
Or
If you did not have a tethering source/capability, would "wifi only" be acceptable for you?
- Because in all reality, the underlying issue/question here is who uses their iPad in an "other than" pure wifi hotspot/router type connection.
-- It's a no brainer that those with a tethering source would 95% of the time not require/purchase onboard 3G etc.
