Very unlikely. The GPS is part of the cellular radio. I believe this is how it has been for every iDevice.

Has appeal been an issue with the iPad?From a marketing standpoint it would greatly increase the appeal of the device.
Of course you can. However, such methods of determining location aren't as accurate.I think they can use the location of the Wi-Fi hotspot or router.
From a marketing standpoint it would greatly increase the appeal of the device. Many consumers would love to have an 8" GPS device.
The problem is that for most things you'd use the GPS chip for (mainly mapping i guess, maybe a sat nab kinda thing) you are likely to be out and about and without 3G it can't load a map to render. You could get your coordinates but not be able to do much with them. If you want/need it on an iPad springing for the 3G model is the only real option and I can't see that changing.

You should be able to store MUCH more than that in 2GB.Using OMaps, I can store whole of Edinburgh in 2GB's.

If it's WiFi only, it's not GPS capable.
