Good to hear from you. You’ll find a whole bunch of iPad enthusiasts in this Forum who are only too willing to help other iPad owners and to hear of their experiences. Don’t be afraid to post any questions you may have or use the ‘Search’ button near the top of the Forum web page. I usually find I discover one new interesting and useful piece of information about my iPad every day - and often not even what I was looking for!!
The iPad will be a great way to view your email for your trip. Depending upon whether you go for the 3G or WiFi model, you'll have no trouble keeping in touch while you're away.
There are WiFi hotspots in most hotels, malls, franchise outlets (Starbucks, McDonalds etc), airports, some trains and buses etc - some are completely free and some you have to pay for - usually by signing up on line and paying for an hour/day or however long you like.
3G - which uses cell phone technology to connect to the Internet - is more widespread and convenient, but it can be very expensive if you use the 3G account that you had in Australia because you get charged for 'roaming' - i.e. using another service provider's network - and those charges can be horrendous. Most users buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card when they get to their destination, but you'd need a different one for each country if you want to avoid roaming charges.
If you don't need your email 24/7 - then WiFi is probably the way to go - it's either free or low-cost. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask. That's what we're here for!!
Hope to hear from you soon with your thoughts about the iPad.
Have fun and enjoy your iPad
