I guess there is some problem between Apple and AT&T to have this change so quickly after release of iPad. This seems like a big F-U from AT&T to Apple and their customers.
Anyway, I suggest you could decouple the 3G access from iPad and still be well connected with a portable (battery powered) wifi router. You can go with one tied to a carrier like MiFi (Sprint, Verizon) or you can roll your own and use with any carrier: CradlePoint PHS300 Personal Wi-Fi Hotspot 3G (on sale, $99) Lets you plug your USB cell modem or cell phone which supports tethering into it. It has some features to help you manage your bandwidth to avoid overage charges. I kinda like the CradlePoint in theory for that reason... more control of usage and you can go with low end/cheap/pay-as-you-go providers like Virgin. Plus you can share access with N other people or devices. -- John. _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list LinuxUsers@socallinux.org http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
