In Brazil check for sim cards from either TIM or CLARO carriers. They got pre-paid 3G access for 0,50 cents a day. Just don't tell them it's for an iPad for they might refuse selling it and try to convince you to subscripe some of their data plans (which are a rip off!!).

Whenever something relevant comes up the thread is updated, you don't really need to go beyond the opening post... ;-D

Hey, that's great, it sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. "Dial Aurora 7, the Cylons have arrived!"

Oh man, everything we used to consider the coolest machines are a big joke now. My daughter couldn't stop laughing when I told her that in high school (mid 80's) I had the best "typewriter" of my class, actually of my school altogheter: an electric AND portable Brother. I tell you, classmates...

My dad is 68 and a bit technophobic, nevertheless he got the first gen iPad as soon as it was released and 1 yr later he said to my mom to go buy herself an iPad2 (for she wouldn't let his iPad alone!) She's 62. They use those things daily for everything !... It's the perfect gadget for them...

Well, thankfully no issues so far. Been using it for 15 days now. I've spent several hours playing Air Supremacy and Real Racing 2 HD besides watching youtube vids and the battery actually seemed to last longer than the iPad2. It's been taking exactly 4 hrs to charge even with eventual usage...

Hi there, Another Apple freak from Brazil here. Just got the new iPad, whatta beauty this retina thing is! Although my family is into iPads since we got the very first model 2 yrs ago, only now I decided to use one on a daily basis. I'm sure I'll explore a lot of your collective knowledge...
