Hi
I am also looking to get one and the one that matches my use best will be the 32gb 3g model.

3g is a must if you are going to use it out and about as wifi is not always available.

16gb for me was not enough storage wise as i want to stop lugging the laptop around as much as i do.

The wife tried to buy me one last week in Hong Kong whilst she was out on business and could not get one for love nor money, all the main dealers and apple store sold out, some available on the grey market but prices just stupid!!!!

Good luck

3g will need a micro sim for internet access. My choice would be a non 3g model and possibly a MiFi wireless 3g modem on the three network for the internet bit. All iPads have built in wifi so internet at home is never going to be a problem. Do they do a 32Gb iPad2? I'd be tempted by the bigger storage personally. I use an iPod touch with a MiFi as it's basically an iPad with a smaller screen and I love it

I have the basic Ipad 1 with no 3g and smallest memory, does the job being cool but would definitely recommend 3g, only thing is it adds to the cost because you have to buy a sim from o2 etc.. to use it.

Get 3G even if you are not going to use it. It gives you the option but most importantly it gives you GPS which non-3G models don't have.
