I've put my MiFi through its iPad paces. It does drain the battery faster, in about 5-7 hours with continuous use, but that's certainly good enough to last until I can get somewhere to charge it up, again. Can't say enough about how fast and stable it is, too. Have been using mine almost continuously for the last five days, and haven't had the first hiccup with MiFi. In this part of the country, at least (southeast Tennessee), Verizon's coverage is vastly superior to AT&T's. The alternative to AT&T's 3G coverage (and the fact that work pays for my MiFi and its unlimited data plan) is a large part of what encouraged me to take the plunge and buy an iPad in the first place, and it has confirmed itself as a worthwhile investment in that respect.

I have a question for the MiFi users. I am on VZW with a Blackberry Storm and the data plan. Does the MiFi have an additional data plan cost over and above the blackberry data plan? Thanks, I am stuck with this phone until the fall, then I need to decide what to do next. I do not want another 40 a month bill on my cell bill. It is already outrageous as it is.
A little off topic but I connected to someone's Palm Pre + on VZW the other day and the iPad worked fine on this as well. For those that don't know the PP+ can output VZW Wifi on it's own, just like a Mifi. The feature is now FREE as well! I think it was $30 when it came out but VZW is offering the feature at no charge.
wow....expensive......here you get the same plan for less than $30.
And a 1GB plan for around $14
Anyone PC literate enough to try setting up a Laptop to be a WIFI source?
I am wondering if I get a USB mobile card for my Dell laptop, then connect to the laptop with BT to the IPad and then access the internet on the IPad?
Alternately I think there is a way to set up a personal network on the laptop, and then connect to the IPad......
I am really reaching here, but I am wondering if anyone has an idea if this would work before I try it and mess up the whole shootin match.

I mainly need my PC as I still earn a living with it.
59.00 for the device with a 2 year contract at 59.00 per month for the verizon mifi 2200.
I am frugal..... ok, lets call it what it is, I am cheap. The USB is moving out of the spotlight so the rates and the device charges are cheaper than the new whiz-bang Mifi 2200 wifi access point.
I think you are missing another point.
At your home you pay for internet service by whatever means you choose and then through a wireless router for your wireless access.
On the road you use the Myfi for that internet access and the wireless access.
When you can show us such a device that can do all this device can...please let us know.
