[...] Leading up to the Canadian launch of the Apple iPad, Rogers Wireless was very clear that Fido would not be supporting the iPad at launch. However, that did leave the possibility of Fido supporting the iPad at a later [...]

Just out of curiousity, those people who have (or are going to) switch from 3G to a Wi-Fi only Ipad, does that mean when prices for data plans do come down, you are going to go out and buy a new 3G IPad? To me, that seems kinda silly…
I don't know enough about the IPads, but I assume there is a hardware difference, meaning its not simply about buying an addon for the IPad to go from WiFi to 3G, you're replacing the whole machine.
So, rather than going with the Wi-Fi version, wouldn't it make sense to buy the 3G, and wait to activate it until a reasonable data plan becomes available?

I just hope if we get upset more and more… Rogers will change the plans like they did with the iPhone andthey added at last minutes the 30$=6Gb plan….. So let's hope….

Also, if you didnt order you iPad case from Apple yet…. now the site said deliver by June 7… The camera connector by june…. hummmm

I know what you're saying.

But maybe Fido customers want only one bill instead of having to pay two
separate ones, or prefer Fido customer service over Rogers or any other
variety of reasons.

Since the iPad is unlocked, it really doesn't make a difference who people
go with but everyone will have their own reasons for why they prefer one
carrier over the other.

So lets say that you absolutely must be on Fido, well your only option at
this time is to do something like $30 for 500MB where at Rogers its $35 for
5GB.

but so what? I mean Fido is Rogers is Fido. No contract required. So who cares if they are paying Fido or Rogers? What is more important is if other carriers jump into the fray and offer their own plans to compete with Rogers.

There is no official ipad data plan with Fido.
