I'm using my iPad now in Toronto with wifi and have been doing so for over a month since getting it in Buffalo before a long spat of travels around the planet. Perfect replacement for a lap top, which I was finding too heavy to take on my travels even at just over 3-pounds. My needs are for light word processing and spread sheet functions and the two Apple aps work just fine. The pad's keyboard dock makes it more functional for working purposes but otherwise it is a great multimedia travel companion. From Australia I was downloading free US TV news programs to keep up with what was happening back home. Once I figured out all the functions of the iPad, I had no regrets and find it ideal for my needs.
