The iPad was just released yesterday, in case you didn’t know. But the release yesterday was the “WiFi only” version. This means, you will only access the web in a WiFi hotspot like your home, Starbucks, or anywhere else a WiFi connection is available – or unless you have a jailbroken iPhone, then you can do this.
iPad 3G & ATT’s unstable network
One thing that concerns me about the upcoming iPad 3G is the fact that AT&T is handling the data plans. This means a whole new army of devices are going to tapping into AT&Ts already unstable data network. A network that is so unstable that people in large metro areas such as New York, Chicago, and San Francisco actually have dead spots.
Is AT&T going to be able to handle it?
So the big question of the day is this – will AT&T be able to handle the onslaught of new data subscribers?
One thing’s for sure, they are all set to take your monthly payments!
But based on their historically atrocious service, I’m a bit standoff’ish on purchasing an iPad 3G simply because of AT&T’s data network.
What do you think?
Do you think AT&T is ready for the iPad 3G?
