There is something that no one seems to have caught about the iPad 3G, that will make it the best computer for travellers. Not only it is light, small and easy to carry, but the 3G version makes it an appealing choice for people who travel to foreign countries.

Until now, to use your smartphone in a foreign country, you had pay high data roaming fees, that it made it impossible to use.
But this is going to change with the iPad 3G.

• First of all, the iPad 3G is not locked to a wireless carrier. That means you can use any micro-SIM card, from any carrier in the world.
• Secondly, iPad data plans offered worldwide don’t require to sign a contract. They are automatically renewed every months, but you can simply cancel any time.

Both points mean you can travel in a foreign country, buy a mico-SIM card with a data plan for your iPad 3G, use it anywhere during your trip, then cancel the plan before you leave.

And with the upcoming iPhone OS 4, people will be able, for example, to let Skype run in the background and receive/make calls.
