This might actually spoil my plans to buy an iPad. I usually won't need 3g coverage on it, but being able to throw in a sim for a road trip or whatever was a huge plus for me. Enough to pay the extra for the 3g model at least.<p>I remember shaving down multiple headphone connectors with my pocketknife so I could use them in my original iPhone. A normal headphone jack was probably the biggest selling factor for the 3G for me. Ugh, curse apple and their beautiful products.
