I just received my iPad 3G today after selling my WiFi a few weeks back. It has been a hard time and I missed the iPad very much, but after playing with it today, it was well worth the wait. Since I ordered the iPad before June 7th, I was able to get the unlimited data plan. Once you quit the unlimited data plan though and opt for one of the lesser plans, you never have the option to go unlimited again. So for the summer at least while I travel, I will be using the unlimited.
I have already done a few videos on the iPad like the iPad Unboxing and the iPad Breakdown where I breakdown various apps I love. This video is all about the 3G and the practice uses of the 3G. Specifically I take it and stream video from multiple sources like CNN.com, Airvideo from my house, and Netflix. Airvideo is a brilliant piece of software consisting of a process running on your home computer that serves up videos to your iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad over the Internet. With this and Netflix, we will be able to have the hundreds of kids videos I have one our home machine available for the kids while on the road.
I also show you how I can use VPN (virtual private networking) to connect to a Windows system at my office and how I can support network equipment from anywhere I can get a GSM signal. Enjoy the video.
