I purchased the 3G data plan. I'm usually in wifi areas, but I take my iPad with me everywhere. It's definitely worth 30 bucks a month to grab Lily (my girl's daughter named the iPad) and get in the truck and have access to all the features. If I'm shopping, I'll grab it and look up reviews to consider a purchase, or if I hear something on the radio I'll jump on iTunes and download the song or album before I forget.

Personally for me, the big appeal of the iPad is that it's so mobile, just grab and go. Having to be in a wifi location would take away from a lot of that convenience. Also, my girl and I chat throughout the day on AIM and I stay signed in to get the push notifications.

I bought the $30 plan the first day I got my iPad, but I will probably drop to the $25 plan since I only used about 550 mb last month.

Unlimited data baby! This thing goes anywhere with my family.

Yes and yes! Locked in the unlimited plan right away!

I immediately signed up for the unlimited plan and will stay on it as long as my company pays for it

Yes... I decided to shell out for the unlimited to see how long AT&T will honor this plan in the future. What will be interesting to see is when the 4G iPhone comes out and the 4G 2 Gen iPad. What people do not understand is that when video conferencing comes out that data usage will be a whole new ballgame. We went through this in the UK a few years ago.

Added the unlimited plan 15 minutes after purchasing the device. Even though the service tends to be absolutely awful here in Los Angeles.
