OMG! YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME!!!
Thank you SO much!
You've just helped me from knowing nothing at all, to actually knowing enough to make my decision. (Not before an hour and a half of web surfing with the leads you guys have given me.) I would get an iPad mini If I already had an iPad and just wanted something more efficient in the plane. But hey, I want to use this thing for personal use too! So I like the advantage of the bigger screen. So I definetly want celluar service for built-in GPS and out of wifi-area coverage purposes. Verizon offers better coverage and 4x the data for $5 more than AT&T.
AT&T = $14.99/mo. & 250MB. Verizon = $20.00/mo. & 1GB.
But the data you use when you are in a Wi-Fi area is not taken out of your cell service data. And $5 is $5. I don't think I will never get close to 250MB per month because I'll be careful to do most of my heavy operation in Wi-Fi areas.
So:
-3rd generation (I would say black in color, because just an hour ago it was cheaper than white. I just looked again and they changed it. Now white is cheaper than black!!!
)
-32GB
-AT&T (+ Wi-fi) $14.99 month & 250MB.
I'll sniff around at different places and compare prices. But right now Amazon is giving me the verdict,: $726.00
OUCH!
