Slash the price on the non-3G even more and I might bite. I have no use for 3G.

I got it on the 2 and have yet to use it.
I figure I will activate it when I hit the road agai next month.
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.

Love the battery life.
Can last all day, into the night, with heavy use all day between my grandson and I.
Was at 28% at midnight before I put it to charge overnight.
Truly amazing.
