Some of you probably faced this difficult question when you bought an iPad, or maybe you are facing it now before buying an iPad 2. Which model should I choose? Should I take the 3G model, which is more expensive but allows me to be connected to the Internet at any time, or should I take the Wi-Fi Only model? I can't tell you what to buy, but I can tell you what I choose and why. I will take the 3G model of the iPad 2 because I like being able to access the Internet anywhere and anytime without having to look for a Wi-Fi network. In Romania there are very few HotSpots and in general they are available either in malls/bars/restaurants or in important areas of the city. Having the 3G model and an internet card included, I can access the internet anywhere, anytime without worrying about not finding a Wi-Fi HotSpot.
You will say that the iPhone 4 now has the Wi-Fi HotSpot option and I can make a HotSpot through which I can connect the tablet to the 3G connection of my terminal. True, I can do this without any problem, but I have to pay 4 euros to Orange or jailbreak and buy an 11$ application. If I don't have my phone with me, I'm left without internet and struggle with Wi-Fi, but more importantly: I'm limited by the autonomy of the terminal to surf the internet. I prefer the iPad 2 3G, even if it is more expensive, because it offers more portability than the Wi-Fi only model.
What do you choose?
