    I love mywi, can't wait to get a hold of one of these wifi iPads. Would there be any speed difference going through the phone's 3G connection versus the iPad 3G connection? Would the difference be significant?

    I have noticed that the MiWi has done a great job with tethering my iPad. Since I have a 3G not a 3GS, the browsing is faster on my iPad but that's due to the memory and processor speed of the iPad. My iPhone gets a little sluggish when I MiWi enabled though.

    Why do so many idiot's think it's such an honor to be the first one to post something? I don't get it. I can only assume that they must be children. I can't picture an adult actually getting that excited over something so stupid.

    Jailbrake <> Piracy.
    Please don't promote cracked versions.

    Not cool to steal from developers. Just think, without them you would be stuck using only Apple apps and never discovered JB.

    I particularly prefer an iPad 3G as there are many drawbacks to using MyWi.

    Though MyWi works with the iPad it is not very reliable for daily use.
    If it turns out that you need MyWi for more than occasional 3G on the road usage, get a 3G iPad.

    If you do choose to use it, keep in mind the following so you don't suffer:
    -Turn it off when not used as it will drastically drain your iPhone battery.
    -Before you connect your iPad to the MyWi ID, turn off WiFi on the iPad to clear any past DHCP setting and such.
    -On MyWi choose a channel that you know is not in conflict with a nearby WiFi router, otherwise your performance will be impacted due to the interference.
    -Turn off Bluetooth on both devices to avoid interference.
    -Be careful with your usage (how many MB you consume) so your carrier doesn't slap you a big ticket for unauthorized tethering.

    You may often experience Baseband crashes (full signal drop outs) and you may regularly have to soft or hard reboot your iPhone in order to get it to work.

    I use cracked apps as a try before I buy, not rip off small developers. If I like, I buy
    Use a cracked TomTom App, but that's down to a dispute over a damaged faulty device the stinking robbing filthy bast**ds returned to me.
    I won't promote crack sites, but do find them useful :)

    Correction - mywi may be *stolen* via pirate sites. Your iPad cost a lot more than $10, as did your iPhone, as does your 3G phone service. Just because it's easy to steal from these independent developers doesn't make it any more right than stealing any of those other items or services you (presumably) paid for.

    If it works for you, buy it. That way, maybe they'll keep developing other cool utilities and/or improving this one.

    Yep, I been using mywii for the past week with my iPad since the hotel I was staying at had some of the most crappiest wifi ever in my room. Saved me a lot of headaches from having to go downstairs sit downstairs in the lobby all night just to get wifi. Although I do wonder about the data usage on my 3G iPhone account since I been racking up roughly 300mb each day for the past week.

    I'm actually considering getting a 3G iPad now since it seems more logical for my job situation.

    I have been using mywi for the past few weeks and I have to say I love it if you are streaming a lot of data it will kill the battery but if you are chatting online and just viewing web sites the battery will not drain out that quick . I am also using a add on battery mophie which adds hrs of web surfing so I never run out of power,

    You know what would be awesome? If the iPad had an efficient photo-sharing app. Like Clixtr for the iPhone: http://www.getjar.com/mobile/36940/clixtr-for-apple-iphone/?s=reviews

    Absolutely worth the $10 price. MyWi is reason enough by itself to jailbreak your iPhone....
