Wifi isn't on the bus to work, wifi isn't on the street, wifi isn't in the office building except certain areas

It is a more convenient easy way to view things basically.

Flipboard keeps me occupied for an hour.  I put my favorite sites on it and just page through them all with its super cool RSS newspaper like feed.  Look through twitter, niketalk, iphonedownloadblog, engaget, sneakernews, etc.

The games on it are a big plus and have really interesting capabilities for the future.  I am dying for a plug in controller or airplay controller.  I would love to play fifa on it with a controller.  I have no problem controlling players in NBA Jam (bigger joystick) but fifa i have trouble sometimes running in a straight line.  But stickman golf is super addicting, world of goo is amazing too.

When ios 5 comes out and i can text from it i will be super stoked.  It will be a matter of time before its jailbroken in ios5 and i can make calls from it you can already do that with a JBed ipad 1.  But netflix....HBO Go (godly app)

Wifi Verzion and iphone 4 =mobile hotspot wherever you are.  JB your iphone for free tethering anywhere no reason to pay for a contract for your ipad and your phone

Biggest difference is Camera as stated before. The second one is thinner and has a faster processor but its not really too noticeable. 
Apps I use the most currently: Safari, Videos, Cnnected (I have a group in there with my friends from undergrad), iBooks, friendly facebook, Flipboard, Calender,  and I would freaking ABUSE HBO Go if TWC customers could use it.

3g plan is pretty simple. I have heard AT&T has a better plan if u wanna go the 3g route. I personally went wifi since I have the evo and can use the hotspot whenever I NEED internet access and don't have it. Trust me if u buy an iPad you will probably take it everywhere with u, u will certainly find out free wifi is not everywhere

I have no problems with my iPad right now in fact I can honestly say I use it everyday. 

As for how much stuff u can fit I have a 32g with 4000+ songs, 2 movies, and like 100 books (literally) I would say you can fit a decent amount of stuff.... (granted I should have went bigger since I pretty much filled my ipad the first day I had it)

Some of the stuff you're asking can be found on the apple, att, and verizon websites.  The info is laid out all nice.  The new features of the iPad 2, the 3G price plans for the providers, storage memory.
Only problems I can think of is no flash (can be said for any apple product) and no usb port.

I own an iPad 2 and was my best decision of my life. I travel a lot and while I do have a laptop, my iPad is very convenient for when I'm on the road or a plane or even a layover at an airport. If you have the disposable income, go for one. If not, find some crappy acer running crapdroid.

Definitely not a laptop replacement, but I bring it with me to work because it can do all the stuff I want to do during down time--Twitter, FB, NT, blogs, etc.--but gets better battery life and has a better display than my phone. With that said, I don't mind having a wifi only version because if I'm somewhere that doesn't have a wifi it's probably not a place I'd want to use a computer (driving, a bar, walking, etc.), and in those sorts of places my phone is much more discreet and appropriate and most of all had 3G access. I get a fair amount of use out of it at home also because I get tired of having my MacBook in my lap because it'll get hot or I just don't want to carry it as much.

I was skeptical as heck at first--hence me only just now getting one--but it really does serve as a decent device that sits right between the functionality of a phone and a computer.

I'm posting from it.

Posting from one right now.... So far I love it.

I haven't been on my computer in like 2 weeks. I can do everything on this instead. Internet, Netflix, games, email, apps, music, camera, FaceTime, etc.

Well worth the $
