I didnt bother with gettin the one that has cellular on it. mainly cuz that they charge, if you have it activated, an additional 30 - 45 bucks a month. and that is with limited data plan. no thanks when all i got to do is be near wifi. and these days , just about everyone has a router. I can send text messeges without the cellular on the mini ipad , but it can only send text's to someone who has iphone, ipad..etc etc. at no charge.

to me, the cellular is just waste of money. my sister got one with the cellular ( 3G ) and she never had it turned on and yet paid an additional 100 bucks ( or something like that ) to have that option.

My iphone is a hot spot and I use it when I need my laptop, so I guess I really don't need it. Now the big question....did you get yours engraved? In the apple store on line it is a free thing, just wondered if it was a good idea.

The iPad plans are 250MB for $14.99 or 3Gb for $30. You can set it up so you only pay for what you need if you like. If you want the hotspot feature, you can go to the 5GB for $50. These are the AT&T prices.

Thanks Arwen, Red has requested an Ipad or Ipad mini for Christmas. She tells me she'll be happy with the mini if she can read her emails. I am sure hoping she can, cause she'll want a 100.00 bucks worth of accessories. :-)

Just got the new ipad last week....loving it! Its amazing...when I replace my desktop - it will be an Apple product as well! Not so sure about the iphone yet...but for syncing and convenience seems like a logical move in the future as well....

It's just the beginning. The stuff is like crack. I started with an iPod, a year later, iMac; the next year iPhone, 6 months after that and macbook air, now looking at apple tv.........

You get the idea, brace your wallet!

I'm actually considering moving away from Apple products, they seem to have too much control over what I do or see on my Iproducts. I want things that are compatible with all of the ever changing world of electronic doodads...Apple seems to only like its own products. Just my experience.
