One of the bigger questions here is definitely what 4G means. It’s essentially become a marketing term that everyone lays claim to (no matter what technology they’re using or speeds they can achieve) and therefore has become pretty meaningless.

Ironically of course, the fastest connections with the iPad in initial tests came from Australia, where using two linked 3G connections the iPad actually scored higher than a 4G unit in California.
