Right on.
After talking with another friend, I think 200MB may not be enough...  :| Although it probably would be enough for my wife.

200MB is a lot of email/web pages.

But streaming audio is nice.

We're all f***ed if you can start posting from the train.

Also, impulse iTunes Store purchases are just part of the luxury of owning an iPhone.

The iPad desperately needs an iOS4 update.

As if you needed another reason to buy an iPad - VLC has an iPad app, which allows you to load any video files onto the device and play them back in VLC.

Perfectly terrible timing, considering I've spent the last few months converting video files into m4v with the intention of playing them on the iPad.

Apple's AT&T exclusivity has officially ended, at least as far as the iPad is concerned. Because at the end of this month, the tablet is coming to Verizon.

Verizon's iPad appears to be the same model as AT&T carries, which means that for 3G access you'll have to purchase a bundle with a Verizon MiFi mobile hotspot. Pricing seems competitive: an 16GB Wi-Fi iPad bundled with MiFi will cost $630, 32GB Wi-Fi iPad + MiFi will be $730, and 64GB Wi-Fi iPad plus MiFi will be $830. The MiFi data plan will apparently offer up to 1GB of data for $20/month, no contract required.

Wi-Fi only models will also be sold, and while pricing for those hasn't been announced yet it's hard to imagine that it'd be appreciably different from AT&T's offering. There's no mention in the release of if or when you can preorder, although you can "sign up for more information" here.

It's not all bad news for AT&T; Apple's incumbent carrier will begin selling the iPad in its own stores on October 28th as well. Although this does seems to lend even more credence to those early 2011 Verizon iPhone reports, which should make you as happy as it makes AT&T nervous.

Verizon Wireless Offers iPad at Stores Nationwide on October 28
