RE: iPad Orders

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did have the wifi version, but returned it for the 3G version a
couple of weeks ago.  Over here Sprint sell the 'Overdrive', which is a
battery-powered 4G/3G wifi hotspot that supports up to 5 devices.  The
problem is that 4G was unlimited, but if it failed over to 3G, which it did
all the time, I start paying after 4Gb of data, which doesn't take long to
rack up if you're streaming content.

So plan A was to have a couple of wifi iPads, and a personal 4G hotspot,
which would cost $60pm for unlimited (4G) data.  That didn't work out, so
now we have one of each iPad, and an unlimited 3G plan which is $30 per
month, with no commitment.  I didn't want to pay AT&T any more money,
but as it turns out it not a bad deal, and the 3G service where I am is
mostly pretty good, I have no problem streaming video content.

I am hovering over the button.

I don't want to buy the 3G enabled version - as I don't want another
contract.

So I am thinking about a Wifi one.

But I understand you cannot tether a blueooth device to it?

I have a blackberry with unlimited data and I want to utilise this! I was
reading about Mifi.

Are you able to buy mifi devices by themselves? Could I put my blackberry
sim in it and utilise the data and therefore connect the iPad to this via
wifi??

I am going to post a separate post asking this questions.

Thanks
