I have a Wi-Fi only iPad and have been using it successfully at the lake.

I use a nifty product from Cradlepoint that sets up a Wi-Fi network with Internet access through a Verizon wireless USB mobile modem. This allows me to bypass AT&T's spotty service for my iPad and iPhone. I also have a laptop connected to the Wi-Fi network as well. It was very easy to set up.

I have been able to watch streamed NetFlix movies on the iPad as well as download rental movies (albeit slowly) from iTunes. (There's a iPad cable available that lets you connect it to a TV.) The overall mobile modem speed is pretty good for my location.

Of course, there's the dreaded monthly download limit to consider, but so far so good.
