Well, still loving this iPad after one week or so, I had to setup a mobile 3G WiFi router on a Windows Mobile device for Wifi to 3G access where I have no connection. Works well!
The iPad is briefly summarized as a content consumption device. *Rich Internet content!
Best and Most used applications so far:
-email access
-calendar
-contacts
-sling player (iPhone version, needs update)
-MLB.com application
-Netflix, kids love the movies, feels like you own the video store.

-Wikipanion
-GoodReader, access all cloud storage and reader.
-Blomberg
-Pandora
-Sketchpad HD
