Am seriously thinking about pre-ordering the iPad. Is that a good idea or should I wait a while? Also not sure which model would be best. I really do not want to pay for the 3G network access as I’m hoping that universal wi-fi will soon be the norm around here. Appreciate your input.
Thanks,

We just purchased the 64GB Wi-Fi only iPad.
If it had a USB port or two we could hang additional storage off the side. Unfortunately, because you can’t, you are limited to using the iPad’s internal storage. This is why we bought the largest we could get our hands on at this time.
$500 is a fine price to put out there. $950 with AppleCare, tax and shipping (free right now) is not what folks would generally call a ‘bargain’. I decided to purchase the most expensive one because I really want the thing and think it will change our lives for the better. 16 GB and 64 GB thumb drives can be had for $15 and $250, respectively. As such, charging a $200 premium for the 64 GB over the 16 GB model is not so unreasonable. It does kinda hurt knowing they will be selling 256 GB iPads for $500 in a year. Whatever 😉
Apple keeps amping it up. For a while I was just happy that they were opening stores, pushing out cool products and improving their OS. Then they blew my mind with the iPhone. It truly is the best technological purchase of my life. I belive the iPad is going to be even better. For me, getting it the first day and knowing that I am part of this rich history is worth every penny.
Yes, I think you should get a WiFi only version. Yes, I think you should pre-order. I think you will be fine with the 16 GB model. You will be happy with the 32. I do not think you will ever regret it if you purchase the 64 GB one.
