One thing about these free WiFi systems. Once I was in a shop, and it said free WiFi, but it required a proprietary VPN software, and it would obviously not work on the tablet (but somehow it "worked" with the iPhone, even though back then there was no SDK...). Boingo will work because they have a tablet solution, but I still don't trust it. Anyway, bluetooth to a cellphone is totally different than WiFi, and I think its better on the road. If you pay for WiFi access, chances are a simple wardrive around the street will find you a open access point. Residential districts, libraries, eateries, etc...
