I have been researching the 'true' cost of owning an IPAD since I am considering getting one, and was very sad today to discover that the $15/mo unlimited 3g plan is no more. You have to pay for every 200mb or something like that I hear.

How has that worked out cost-wise for you all using it. Keep in mind I intend to surf like a mad man so I expect to be an excessive bandwidth user.

I know wifi is free but have no interest in a wifi only model. I will use wifi where I can but it seems I am ALWAYS in an area where there is no wifi. Either 3g or no go.

Thanks.
