In any case, I certainly don't need and wouldn't pay for 3G on a tablet device, living in a major city WiFi is pretty much everywhere I'd want to use a tablet--and I'm mostly use it at home and in the office for document reading and mark up anyway.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you - big city, home wifi - & figure that paying the extra for a 3G is not worth it.
But a frequent traveler might have a different idea about that. Hotel wifi is often pretty costly. And if you are doing business travel, you don't really have the down time to hunt around and get to wifi hot spots.
