With a broadband connection (3G) and the functionality of the iPad, even a 2GB data plan would be the minimum anyone would want.
Are you listening ATT? 250mb… what a joke!!
ordered mine this morning. no data plans information yet available in germany. but all major carriers have announced their plans to do so.
I’m an Aussi and this is good news.
And Telstra has one of the largest, fastest and most reliable mobile networks in the world (Optus is just as bad as AT&T;).
$20 for 1GB or $30 for 3GB on Telstra are perfect plans (the only shame is that the iPad HSPA chipset (7.2Mbps) is much slower than Telstra’s network (currently 21Mbps, soon to be 42Mbps).
LOL @ Ausfailians.
Dont you feel special now living in the middle of nowhere paying for data by the GB.

Telstra $20 2GB for true 3G mobile broadband in more places.
Optus $20 for a head Fu*cK.
