Thanks for the post. I suspect this Christmas could have some other tablets to choose from as well. I guess I am sort of a Garmin Fan Boy, but I would like to see an Android based tablet with Garmin GPS navigation on board. Sort of a larger Garminfone, if you will. Perhaps they could offer it on 5" and 7" versions. I realize that it is unlikely that we will see this, so I suppose the next best thing for me might be a Dell Streak or something similar. HAving one that has a good mobile mount is important to me. As far as iPad navigation, I think it is a bit too big for my taste. I think the CoPilot Live HD for iPad is a pretty neat looking application, too.
Virginmobile Broadband2Go plan sounds a lot better than Verizon's plan. They both offer month to month plan without termination fee.
Verizon
$20/month for 1GB
$35/month for 3GB
$50/month for 5GB
Virginmobile Broadband2Go
$10 for 100MB (expires in 10 days)
$40/month for unlimited access
I saw VirginMobile MiFi 2200 device sold for $139 at Walmart stores. $40/month unlimited data is a much better deal especially knowing that MiFi allows up to 5 devices to access the internet. If you have multiple devices especially a real computer connecting through MiFi, you'll use 1GB in a couple of hours/days depending on how you use your devices.
Those iPads are wifi only
Verizon will sell you one of their Mifi devices to use to connect it to the Internet via the VZW network, with a 1 GB/month for $20/month.
