So, what's the difference between an iPad with WiFi and an iPad with 3G plus WiFi. It's a question that seems to come up frequently, so I thought it would be worth finding out some answers to the question.
I've found five major differences between the two models and keep on looking for more. Here are the five differences:
Number 1: Limited connectivity vs. Extensive connectivity. With the iPad WiFi your connectivity to the internet is limited to areas where you can access the web via WiFi. With the 3G version of the iPad you can connect both via WiFi or the 3G cellular network. That means it should have connectivity anywhere you get cell phone coverage. To get the same coverage with the WiFi version you would need a portable WiFi, like Verizon's MiFi or some of the smart phones that can act like a WiFi.
Number 2: You Pay for More Connectivity. The 3G iPad costs more to buy. At the time I write this, the difference is about 0 in the US. To use the 3G wireless service you need to have a wireless data plan with you carrier. In the US, AT&T provides data plans for a price. To start they had a .99 per month data plan with 250MB of data included and a per month "unlimited" plan. The unlimited plan was discontinued pretty quickly and now you can get 2G of data for per month.
Number 3: iPad with 3G also has built in GPS service. The WiFi version can do some triangulation; you need a 3G iPad to get a really accurate location fix.
Number 4: Some small physical differences. On the back of the 3G iPad there is a black plastic section that enables the iPad to get a better connection to the wireless network. The 3G version also has a door on the side for you to insert the Micro SIM card. These differences are probably not that big a deal given that you will probably want to use an iPad cover to protect your iPad.
Number 5: Shorter Battery Life for the 3G. Using the 3G network chews up more battery. From what I have read it cuts battery life from about 10 hours down to between 7 and 8 hours. Not bad, but it does count at the end of a long day.
So to sum it up, if you are just using the iPad around the house, get the WiFi version and if you need to use it out in the field you are probably better off getting the 3G version of the iPad.

As soon as you're connected with a iPad SIM Card and then broadband you'll be able to get access to the world wide web whilst sending and also getting email messages and it is so simple to get going. This is especially so due to the impressive operating-system on-board the electronic device. In addition you will find there's neat and tidy virtual key-board which enables you to type via a touch screen. It can't be simpler to make the most of the Apple iPad tablet's main elements when you're away from a WiFi signal. WiFi tends to be only available in public places, such as coffee shops and hotels. The tablet is actually very clever, if it detects that you are in a WiFi zone, then it will automatically switch off the 3G and move over to the free WiFi. This is great, as you will not eat into your monthly data transfer allowance you have with your mobile network.
At this moment although you may go on the web while using the less expensive model of the Apple iPad that's a WiFi permitted product, it is genuinely beneficial paying out an additional little bit of money and buying any 3G & WiFi enabled model of the hand held device. If you don't have a 3G enabled version of the iPad, you do not need a micro SIM card. However, having just the WiFi version limits what you can do with your tablet and where you can do it. In today's tech focused world why put limits on what you can do.
The main focus with the Apple iPad is being able to get on the web, look at messages, send emails, see on line video and pretty much all the things we like to do when we are sitting at home on a desktop PC. As a result, if your going to obtain a iPad, you might as well have the full blown model that will allow you to go on line with no restrictions.

How Are Companies Able to Give Away iPads For Free?
Most offers like these are paid for by advertisers or 3rd party investors. They require consumers to fulfill a few requirements and then once completed, they send the consumer a new product to try out. As long as you complete your end of the deal, you'll find out this offer to be "REAL" and your tablet-style computer will be yours to keep without waiting to see if you've won a contest or was lucky enough to have your email address picked from a list of about a million others.
Offering free iPads for testing is a really inexpensive way for advertisers to get the word out about this new revolutionary product. The Apple Corporation and other companies will use the iPad test to elicit consumer opinions and to find what the public thinks of the new product. They also may learn if the product is being used properly and if any new applications need to be developed in order to increase sales and keep the public's interest high. Let's face it, after getting one for free I'm sure you'll become a valued customer as well.
Please Be Aware Though:
You must be a resident of the United States to apply and you have to be at least 18 years old to qualify. This offer will not last long and once the iPad is available to the public, these free offers will often disappear. Don't waste your time entering contests only to be disappointed when you don't win. iPad testing offers are not a scam and they do work. I will caution you to be careful of any offer asking you for your social security number or your bank account information in order to be put on their list. These offers scream fraud.
