I'm not sure if I was the only person who missed this in the announcement, but the new iPad can now function as a mifi, sharing your 4G internet connection with up to 5 devices. For someone like me who already has a Mifi from Verizon, this is VERY appealing. My iPad would have "Internet-always", I could rid myself of the Mifi payment/contract, use the iPad data plans contract-free in its place, and get a case that would function

And for me specifically I'd be moving from my 3G Mifi to the 4G speeds now available in this area.

I'm going to confirm this with Verizon (Apple chat confirmed this was the case, but I'd like to validate it once more before pulling the trigger), and will likely follow up with a post on how I'm replacing my workstation/laptop with an iPad to work :)
