Hi Adrian, I had a Telstra Pre Paid Micro-SIM for my iPad when I was traveling down south regularly.
I am expecting the iPad 3 to be released fairly soon, certainly in 2012. Rumour sites are indicating as early as March 2012 ;-) I did not purchase the iPad 2, but am thinking seriously of upgrading to iPad 3.
