    Which is faster? Wifi or 3G?

    There's a free app called Speedtest in the app store that will let you compare speeds over a 3G connection and a WiFi connection.

    It'll depend on your internet connection, but generally wifi will be faster.
    If you have a very lousy/slow DSL line, 3G might beat your wifi... after all your wifi is only as fast as your internet connection is.
