Maybe Shem, but the 3G version is quite a bit more expensive and I don’t think I’d very often use it out of the house. if I did it would likely be in places with Wi-Fi. I guess it would be nice in the car though, and you get GPS with the 3G model which could come in useful.

I guess it depends on what I’d use it for. Most of the time it would be as a quick and handy e-mail / browser on the sofa in the evenings rather than turning my desktop computer on. When not in use it would be a digital photo frame.

I suppose the fact that I don’t have a smart phone of any description would make the 3G version more useful to me than to many people. At the moment if I’m out of the house then I have no internet connection at all. Having something could be useful and the ad hoc price plans for 3G access seem like the fairest way to do it, but do I really want the extra expense of mobile broadband as well as my normal broadband?

Decisions Decisions!

What is the 3G access like around here? No doubt it is faster than the wired broadband I get currently??

16GB Wi-Fi only iPad is £429 (including VAT)
32GB Wi-Fi only iPad is £499
64GB Wi-Fi only iPad is £599.

16Gb 3G version of the iPad is £529 (including VAT),
32GB 3G version of the iPad is £599 and
the largest 64GB 3G iPad will is £699.

Looks as though it will have to be the 32GB Wi-Fi only for me then.

So, the question now is which model shall I get!… 64GB version without 3G for me I think.
