[QUOTE="guivre, post: 5143741, member: 72477"] The WiFi has been solid for me. Keep in mind those support comments are a tiny subset of the total current iPad owners. Every device that comes out has people complaining about it. It's just as likely people on :):):):):):) networks as it is a hardware issue. At least at this point very few people are reporting problems. If you get 3G yes. The plan they came up with is great, but they should have negotiated a rider on existing phone plans for less. Had they charged $10 a month extra to my iPhone to tack on 3G for the pad I'd have gone 3G. That being said a data plan with no contract for that low of a price is a great deal. I just don't think it's a must have on the iPad. Not true actually. It's true that it has no camera, and it doesn't behave like a cell phone but it does have phone capabilities. VOIP works, and if you have access to Google Voice (lucky you, I'm envious) you can use that as well. Prior to January you could only do this on Wifi, but Apple distributed a new SDK while the news was still fresh on the iPad that unlocked the capability on 3G as well. I'll bet anything that taking calls on the iPad is part of Jobs vision and he intends to get there a little at a time... boiling the frog. I've personally attended teleconferences on the iPad, it works great. [/QUOTE]
