You mean like... an iPhone?

A smaller 3G iPad. No voice plan, no contract, just data.

Edit: iPad without 3G is $129 cheaper. iPod Touch is $229 cheapest. Adding a 3G chip to it should make it <$350.

Not a very exciting product and you really can’t calculate prices like that.

What you want is a unlocked iPhone and providers which offer some sort of prepaid SIM. And that very likely won’t happen.

While I hope they do slash the iPad prices, I'd much prefer they keep the same form factor for a few generations.
iPad + iPhone = iPon. That will go over well.
