(relatively) no-one in America is going to choose to spend $130 more up-front just for the pleasure of being ill-served by AT&#38;T's data network.<p>That whole 'service' is a non-option in the US.  At least until the iPhone is available elsewhere and AT&#38;T's network load lessens.<p>They've dragged their feet for 3 years to update the network for the wildly successful iPhone.  I doubt the iPad will push them any faster.
