Something to consider alongside the “data anywhere you have signal” capability of the WiFI+3G iPad, is that the WiFi-only model does not have a GPS receiver built-in and triangulates with WiFi like an iPod Touch would.

Regardless of concerns over availability of an Internet connection, if you plan on using any app with iPad that relies on precision location, you’ll want the 3G version for the GPS and AGPS capabilities.

$60 a month every month means paying $720 a year to Verizon.

$30 a month on an as needed basis, while using WiFi wherever available – such as in your office or home or Starbucks, etc. means you may never need to pay AT&T or only the occasional $30 or even $15.

This is a no brainer. The IPad with 3G wins. AT&T’s $30 a month on an as needed basis is so much cheaper than the $720 a year paid to Verizon.

Stick with your i-Phone, and avoid adding more booty to the telecom treasure-chests. (Also, keep using your MacBook Pro instead of an ‘i-Pad’)
