Well the point on that front is you can use the iPad without 3G, while you can't the iPhone (though you could just get an iTouch I suppose. I'd buy the WiFi model if I was getting one as I don't need 3G. I have WiFi at the home and the office where I'd use it most often.

I'd only take it places where I had WiFi access--coffee shop, hotel when traveling (either stay where it's free, or work pays for it if it's a conference etc.) so I just don't need it.

I also don't have a smart phone as I just have no desire to pay for a 3G play to get crappy web browsing on a tiny screen, don't want to have e-mail access all the time (already hard to quit working) etc.

But I want a tablet for the reason above, and would get more use out of web browsing on the couch etc. than I ever would a phone, iTouch etc. due to the larger screen.
