Everyone — OK, tech obsessed Apple junkies — by now has heard of how the new (should that be a capital N?) iPad is throwing off thermonuclear heat, probably due to the amount of gee wizardry stuff packed into the relatively small tablet. In fact, we hear some new owners are using the newpads as portable cooking devices! Now that’s multi tasking.
But the other unforeseen consequence of slavishly purchasing the latest iteration of an Apple product involves Verizon and the 4G network. While the new iPad, with its spectacular new screen resolution and superfast connection makes it an amazing video device, all this will come with a cost. Early users are reporting they’re using up their monthly network data-usage plans as quickly as two hours or so. So it’s either pony up for an extra gig or two — or just the new toy wireless only. Ah, technology.
