I went to the trouble to sign up with Vodafone over O2 for the mobile package because Vodafone offered roaming.
But the ipad packs a mini-sim. And I went to an Apple store and a telco store in Lux to discover that the 3 networks in Lux have not upgraded to the mini-sim.
Apple is pushing the technology in the iPad so much that the telco networks are upgrading / adapting to use the mini-sim. Amazing isn't it.
The hotel I was staying at didn't have straight forward wifi. So I couldn't use it there. And at client meetings, they didn't have wifi full stop, so I couldn't get online there.
I was away for two full days with no internet connection on my ipad. It felt wrong.
One thing that really hits home is how the iPad is a slave to a master PC. You really need to keep driving content onto the iPad from a PC/Mac. Photos, music, videos. You can download applications from the Apple store on the device (which I couldn't even do in Lux) and use the internet but pretty much anything else you need a pc/mac for.
Happy surfing....
