I guess I'm an old duck - my iPhone, Kindle and MacAir are all toast, as soon as I get my iPad. When OS4 is released, the iPad will meet all of my travel needs - memos, light spreadsheets, presentations (even via a projector), movies, music, photos, E-mail, and Skype. It's the prefect solution for me - I NEVER text, use Facebook, etc - and having to periodically check E-mail is just fine.
The MacAir never really hit the mark for me, and being able to go back to my cheap T-mobile GSM phone for all my international travel will do wonders for my budget. Using a netbook is a total waste of money, and I'm excited that this will be the enterprise device for my entire team.
I'll wager that I'm not the only one looking forward to this consolidation...
thats true but if u used ur bb rewards card often your considered a silver are gold member and you have 45 days to return anything and no restocking feeI'm just curious for those who bought the wifi iPad such as myself. I'm over 14 days and going on 17th day as of today and contemplating whether to return my iPad to Best Buy and take the restocking fee and get a ipad 3G later on. I do have an iPhone that can tether using MyWi and very happy with it. My only worries is when the iPhone 4G release maybe in June, I don't know if MyWi will still be available. Anybody can enlighten me on my decision. What would you do if you are in my situation? Thanks!
I was under the impression that for computer products Best Buy's policy was 14 days. During that 14 days you could return the product but it would subject to a restocking fee. Sounds like you are outside the return/exchange window.
I just confirmed this buy going to BB's website and looking up their return policy.
Keeping my wifi model. Can't see the value in paying a extra $129 for 3G model, when I can tether just fine, and save myself the $30 a month. I know some do not mind paying extra or maybe do not have a data plan on their current phone.

A 3G is heavier and larger.
Has much less battery life.
Easy to spot and probably more desirable to thieves.
Be happy with your wifi iPad.

That is not exactly true. The wifi and 3g are the same size
Height:9.56 inches (242.8 mm)Width:7.47 inches (189.7 mm)Depth:0.5 inch (13.4 mm)
And the 3g is only .1 ounce heavier. Not enough to even tell a difference
Weight:1.5 pounds (0.68 kg) Wi-Fi model;1.6 pounds (0.73 kg) Wi-Fi + 3G model
Sure.
From Apple tech specs:
iPad - Apple Store (U.S.)
From an Apple rep:
- You are chatting with Melinda M, an Apple Expert
- Hi, my name is Melinda M. Welcome to Apple!
- You: Hi. Are the 3g and wifi ipad the same size or is the 3g bigger?
- M: Good afternoon.
- M: They are exactly the same size, the only size difference is the capacity of storage.
And show me on any of the many many cases made for the ipad (leather, gelli, hard, screen protector, etc..) where there is one size for the wifi and another size for the 3g.

I think he was being sarcastic. The size difference is real but negligible as is the weight difference. I recall seeing the information but I cannot locate the source right now.
