Yeah yeah, I’ve seen the new iPad 2 and its not huuuugely different to the iPad 1 – But I want one, and as such am likely going to buy one.
The big question is 3G or no 3G?…. I’m a little stumped on this, it seems to be ~£100 more for the privilege. Does anybody have any experience using iPad with 3G?
95% of the time i’ll be using the pad at home, or in the office. It’ll be that small 5% when I’m and about that will really piss me off when I don’t have it.
Answers on a post card?
Dude, im not sure; is it really worth the money? Either-way, if you insist on getting one i would go for regular rather than 3g… its just another contract.
I don’t think I’d contract it… Orange 5p/mb PAYG. If I had to contract It’d be a big no.
Hi Dave. How are you finding the iPad without 3G? I noticed last time we met you were tethering. I’m just going to buy one – and undecided whether to have the convenience of 3G on-board – or just use the iPhone tether. Your thoughts/opinion would be welcome. Cheers. P
Hey Phil,
I find 3G tethering is working very well – I only have 1 bill for data, and am yet to find a situation where I have my iPad but not my iPhone in my pocket.
I’ve certainly not found it inconvenient
and If I was buying again, would do the same.
Thanks Dave. I have done the deed – and gone with the WiFi only. It’s transformed my “device” usage already (not having to share the old iPad with the rest of the household). Particularly liking the Flipboard application – it’s the best Twitter client around. Speak soon – and thanks for the advice. P
