Input for getting ipad 2?

Defiantly get Verizon, it covers a lot more of the country than ATT does. And yes, you can tether the internet from you iPhone to your iPad if you decide to get one, as long as your iPhone is set up to be able to tether, which I think costs a lot of money monthly. Personally, I would go with the Wifi only. I dont really use my iPad 2 in the car at all, and if I do go somewhere, 90% of places have Wifi.
