Final question - is there any real advantage in getting the 3G given that there is wifi in so many places?”
I normally recommend against the 3G option if the would be owner has a phone that offers tethering via wifi. Depending on the volumes of traffic it is often cheaper to use the 3G data associated with your phone (especially when you factor in the extra cost of the 3G chip), rather than having a separate data contract.
Unfortunately iPads don't support tethering via bluetooth or USB
Another important consideration is that the current 4G ipad will never be able to connect to the 4G networks expected to roll out later this year. Nor will they connect to any 4G networks outside of northern America.
