There is so much talk about using MiFi/MyWi to give 3G access to wifi only iPads.
With the impending release of the Spirit Jailbreak, I for one am excited to use MyWi on my iPad 3G to give my laptop Internet access wherever I am. For instance, i live in a very densely populated area, thus my cable internet connection is slow and has dropouts multiple times a day. Im actually looking forward to being able to use my iPads 3G connection on my home computer for the times that my normal internet connection does not suffice.
In my opinion, using MyWi on an iPad 3G is better than using MyWi on an iPhone, for multiple reasons. First of all, its not practical to always have MyWi running on your cell phone. It dramatically decreases battery life, and detracts from the phones primary function, that is, being a phone.
Secondly, the iPad has a truly unlimited data plan (no 5GB soft cap). When tethering through the iPad, i wont have to worry about exceeding the 5GB cap. Also, Since ATT doesn't officially allow this sort of "tethering," the iPad is more likely to pass under their radar, since it is more likely to consume a large amount of bandwidth than an iPhone is.
Anyways, i know other peoples opinions may vary, but im just putting in my $0.02
