[QUOTE="lokerd, post: 1039553, member: 151761"] Hello. Hope this isn't an FAQ...I did do a search...at least for MiWifi which turned up no results. I currently have the Wifi, which I have to take back on Thursday before my 14 days is up as I am 98% sure I want the 3g model. But, I do have one question that would help close that 2% doubt...and even pave the way for me to keep my current iPad to give to my wife, etc. Is there any chance that an app could be developed and will the hard ware support it to make the iPad 3g broadcast a wifi signal to other devices, kind of like the Palm Pre...or Sprints MyWifi? If so, the 3g iPad would all of a sudden be a HUGE opportunity!!! I really like the Wifi model...and don't really want to pay for internet...but I just read today that the 3g can be turned off to prevent going over the 250mb. This makes it a no brainer to me...and firmed up my decision just today after reading the details closer about how the $15 plan will work. I feel pretty certain that it wasn't that clear last week. Seems like it did not state that you could turn off the 3g...and the theory, at Best Buy at least, was that you would go into some expensive overages. "you can decide whether to turn off 3G or upgrade to the unlimited plan". So, that pretty much seals the deal for me. The only thing that would have been cooler is to give us a bucket of 250 mb for $15...and we could refill the bucket for another $15. But, at least I can cut it off at the end of the 250mb...or more importantly, scale back as I approach the cut off. Thanks for any feedback! Drew -- [url=http://www.drewloker.com]Index[/url] [/QUOTE]
