redwatch Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Yeah, I can definitely see this being a very nice, "couch sitting" internet device! And RWG looks great on it. It's nothing like on the iPhone where it defaults to the lo-res version. You get the full experience on the iPad. It's just like browsing RWG on Safari on a regular lap top or desk top. And it is fast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 I love mine while I am sitting at on the chair watching television. heck even while I am sitting at work works great. I have a smart phone (palm pro with sprint) so I didn't get the 3G version. I don't really know that I will especially with the HTC EVO coming out this summer. Since it will have 4G I suspect it will be good. Linked to my phone using sprint mobile network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Its interesting you mention that. I was wondering if it would make more sense to just get the wifi one and a sprint 4G wireless device that shares the network connection. I believe they make a stand alone one. I wonder if the price difference will make sense? The unlimited AT&T plan is only $29.00 per month with no contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the price difference will make sense? The unlimited AT&T plan is only $29.00 per month with no contract The 3B unlimited with at&t is exactly that. It is unlimited month to month. Now with a mobile phone (what I have and use when I am not around wifi) they call it unlimited but I believe most carriers limit it to 5GB a month. I don't know if they start to charge overages if you go over that but I believe they are unlimited up to a point. With the ipad plan it is unlimited with no exceptions. 50GB or whatever its all good with that plan, at least that is what they are saying right now. I suspect it will change at some point. Personally I wouldn't get the 3G version unless you wanted to pay $120 more. If you didn't have a smartphone already with a data plan you probably should look at it though. But for me, the non-3G pared up with my current unlimited data plan is fine and I will be super happy when the 4G phone is out so I can use the 4G network and get much faster downloads. The big down side is the battery drain on the mobile phone when I am using it as a router. However I just bring my charger to work and plug it in and carry a car charger all the time. My phone dies quickly while I am using it at the router hotspot probably 1 hour maybe 2 hours tops. I don't know how well the mifi, and the other 4G router they have out work with battery life but I am suspect on how long they would last. With the 3G ipad people are getting 8-10 hours with 3G on. So that is another advantage to going that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafarmer70 Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 It is a fairly nice device, just cannot justify getting one with the tablet I already have, and with the Macbook Air. I think it would be great to put Linux on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
