I figured for $129, I rather have it than not but still wonder if I truly needed it.

Man do I love this toy much more so than the first.

So you're not forced to automatically subscribe to AT&T 3g coverage? Hmm, too bad I'm saving for my vacation.

Nooooo. That's why I was thinking about upgrading mine. I meant to say I have no use for 3G earlier, I screwed up.
$529 is a crazy price for the 64. Big time.

Not sure this is correct. There may be a reason why AT&T has slashed an additional $100 and Apple has not. If you buy from AT&T I believe you will be required to activate.

No Service Commitment. Min. $14.99/mo. Data plan required. No refunds or exchanges permitted on iPad® purchased at promotional pricing. Limited time offer, while supplies last.

I am sure there has to be a contract agreement for that low price.

On my 2, since i paid regular price, I buy 30 days at a time, wheneve I want or need it and can do it right from the iPad.

I checked, and from what I understand, you do have to activate one month of data at $14.99 to get the mega-low price. I also understand there's no commitment, and you can cancel right away.
I wrestled for a couple days about getting the 64gb 3G wifi, then hid the page from myself. I just plain don't need it. Don't need the iPad 2, either.

YES you do.

In case anyone wonders whether they need a 16, 32 or 64.....

....I thought originally a 16 would be enough. My first generation iPad was therefore a 16.

My new one is a 64.
At this point, with minimal photos, only three videos and around 1,000 songs, with around 20 music videos, add to that my apps, I am at 14 GB.
If one takes into the account the 2 GB taken up by the system, that means I would be maxed out on a 16.

Glad I got the 64 the second time around.

I still have 3.9GB left on my 16GB and I got it on original release day straight from China. If I got rid of all the Trailer Park Boys episodes that I put on there by mistake, I'd have lots more space.
I use my phone for music, so there's no music on there at all, I don't think. It'd be cool if I used it for pics, but I don't, so all I have is some wallpapers and various crap.
The other day I was testing out the new Time Warner app, and it's the first time I ever had a set of earbuds plugged into it. That took what, a year?
Still no sale, Carlos.

I tried.

Scott, wife almost shot me on Sunday.
Went to pick up an Airport Express at local Apple to extend range for home surveillance system and fell in love with 17" MacBook Pro.
Time is ticking.

Sweet! Thanks for the link. I ordered a smart cover and I was wondering how I was going to protect the back. I just placed my order.
