The problem is, in the US, this feature was disabled by AT&T until recently when they allows it if you pay $20 per month. Which is why I'm saying that we are very lucky to be in Singapore. :) Shawn: Yes, iPhone 3.0 firmware supports tethering.

Travelers who want to use pre-paid data card will have a hard time trying to find a MicroSIM. I doubt any pre-paid card will come in MicroSIM, at least not for the next few years. abraxis: Good point.

IF I actually bought an iPad, it would be for its mobile capabilities. Like an iPhone, you could use Wi-Fi wherever you could get online (Wireless SG, for all that's worth). But more often than not, you'll be checking email or reading/surfing the net. Trust me on this because whenever I'm in SG (I live in the US), I use a StarHub Green SIM that fine enough for voice/SMS but charges waaaay too much for data usage. Whenever I'm waiting for the MRT or the bus and want to kill time, not having a data connection or paying through the nose for data really blows. As a result, I don't use it for that. If iPad had a standard SIM slot, I could buy a prepaid 3G data card from StarHub or M1. But I can't so I'll wont (pick up an iPad). .-= abraxis´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.walking-ixus.net/blog/2010/01/damn-fast.html" rel="nofollow">Damn Fast (and Damn Nice)</a> =-.

However me personally I think the iPad uses the Micro SIM simply to avoid any other TelCos of providing bundles or iPad offers that are not agreed with Apple. Its a simple way of avoiding "hacking" because different to jailbraking or the iPhone, its hardware restricted and there is now way of getting around it besides... buying the Micro SIM card.
