I live on the edge of -- and work in --  Toronto.

I will get an iPad 2 with AWS spectrum support so that I can surf on my commute at reasonable data rates.  The cost of data wireless transmission in Canada is insanely high on the large providers. Probably five times the cost it is in most large cities in the USA. (Long story) If I used an iPad 1.0 on Rogers Wireless data rates on that commute, my data bill would be *easily* $200-300+ a month. Not happening.With AWS spectrum support on the iPad 2, I can use a modded SIM card from Wind Mobile -  and that data cost will drop to $25 a month for unlimited bandwidth - which is a price I can more than live with.I have wireless hubs at both work and home -- but my decision to get an iPad is based upon its value-in-use on my commute. It's not there yet -- but soon should be.</blockquote>
