Does anyone this the 3G plan will be integrate it with your monthly cell phone bill? Like I know its $30 a month for unlimited data. You think if you add it to your monthly, it'll be maybe $15 a month? Now that would be extra incentive.

I do like the Ipad, but of course I want to hold out till the next gen.

Does it remind you of the Star Trek: TNG data pads they used on the ship? I used to love those when I watching. It was able to do everything. Pretty much this is the dream come true for your TNG lovers.

It's a no-contract plan, you can stop and start at will. The 250MB plan is $15, the unlimited plan is $30. It's not tied to your existing phone plan or bill, it's a no-contract pre-pay (and a pretty smoking deal for the unlimited 3G).

unlimited is how much? 3GB 5GB 6GB? for data plan, they write "unlimited" but then there's a small star that says 3GB or 5GB or whatever.I mean on your phone, there is so little you can do to use up 5GB but on an ipad makes you wonder

Nope, it is indeed seemingly unlimited. There doesn't appear to be any fine print. It's a pretty good deal, particularly as it's a no contract plan with no commitment.

I'm definitely getting one, but would like to hold out until at least the flash issue is resolved - the multi-tasking and camera would be nice too, but that I'd probably have to wait at least a year for.

You will have multi tasking probably in the next few weeks with jailbreaking. What do you need a camera on it for?

You don't even need to spend the extra on 3g per month if you have a iPhone. If your iphone is jailbroken you can tether from the iPad to use the iphones 3g connection.
