Yeah What a name, iPad, like there's a thinner version for lightdays. :rofl:
They're selling a specially priced one for $14.99 a month with 250MB for the iPad. Unlimited will be $29.99.

I have to pay I don't know, about $45/mo for plain cellphone service for 2 phones, and long distance is billed per call at a pretty high rate unless I buy a long distance package at about $10/mo, and a data plan is on top of that, about $25/month.
Without a data plan I can get a $15/mo package that allows 1000 messages(text, email, voicemail) or get billed per message. I can go on the internet wihtout a data plan by paying per amount of data downloaded at a high rate or buy chunks of data, the smalles chunk costing $3/mo. but the phone is a Razr so internet is a bit useless, The other phone is an LG Neon which might be better but still doesn't have a great browser. Neither have wifi.
I never need internet on the phone anyway and I never text. I don't see the appeal of texting or any need for me to text.

Sums it up for me as well.
However, if I got an iPad, that might change a bit. I could imagine taking the iPad for the many shorter trips I do (a day or two) instead of lugging my MacBook Pro.

Case in point. Why can't one wait until they are out of their vehicle or stop to check or watch such things?

I have no doubt that your most likely a better than average driver but a distraction is a distraction no matter how much one sugar coats it. I'm looking at it from a LEO perspective and think most LEO's where ever they may be from would agree. I just don't think it is a safe idea but I do think its pretty cool. :)

Until you end up crashing into the back of a truck... all it takes is one second of distraction to crash, especially at 70mph... regardless of how good a driver you are.
