Nah, people are selling their iPad 2s right now so that they can use that money toward the iPad 3.

Once the iPad 3 comes out, the value of the iPad 2 will go down. Most, including myself are willing to forgo using the iPad 2 for a month in order to purchase the iPad 3 as soon as it comes out.

I agree with keep it simple. I am waiting for the IPAD 3.

AAPL Stock will see 600 before it sees 500 again.

I may want to jump into owning an iPad but with the monthly service fee for data, it may be quite expensive. I already own an iphone and pay $100 a month for unlimited data and 3g.

Funny, I own a few shares (13 @ $470 of the stock but would rather buy another share then an ipad.

Just use a wifi connection and skip a data plan.

If you have unlimited data on iphone it is a piece of cake to tether the same on to Ipad with no additional cost but for a 2 dollar one time cost for an Ipad app.

I've heard that some people have been dropped by their provider as a result. What's the app? Wouldn't you be using an insane amount of data?

What's the typical plan for an ipad? I imagine you need to get the 3/4g wireless service.

Buy another share of AAPL and use the proceeds in 12 months to pay for the plan, or just go with wifi, that's what I have and I love it!

I have 3g on the iphone. I will only use the ipad when I am in Wifi spot. I will not be paying for 3g service on both my phone and ipad.

I agree. I have the same setup, 3G phone and wifi iPad 2, it would be nice for a carrier to combine the devices into one plan

Im sure its only a matter of time before a carrier will offer a shared plan.
