It’s my understanding that these things are primarily an Internet tool. Didn’t the Iphone suffer because the cell phone network didn’t have enough bandwidth to support it? So now you have larger glitzier version of the Iphone with the same problem? Plus, what is the cost of the Ipad relative to the cost of the telecom contract required to use it?

I see the 3g (cell phone) part of the iPad as a second source of connectivity. The primary connection will be wifi.

Ummmm..., the iPhone is suffering?! LOL ...
There are companies that would kill for "suffering" like Apple has with the iPhone ... :-)

All of the iPads currently being sold are for WiFi networks.
So, no load on the cell networks.
The 3G version launches in a month or so.
WiFi is fine for a lot of uses. You can load content at home and consume it wherever.
