Well, my understanding is that you only pay when you use the 3G connectivity either way (with the built-in 3G or the MiFi), you aren't paying for it when you're not using it. I definitely need to look into this further but that's my sense up to this point. And if he really never needs it because he's always got WiFi connectivity, then it's a non-issue.
In general, I think that's true, but it's on a monthly basis. If you use it that month (and with the 3G being active and on, it's hard NOT to at least once), I think you get hit with the base charge which from what I know is $20/month. If you then exceed 1GB in that month, you get charged more. That's the way I understand it, but I don't deal with the billing end of our VZW contract--I just get to play with the toys.

Has anyone played with/bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab?

Yes, I think you might be overthinking it a bit.

Let me echo the screen is much bigger on the Ipad (which is an assest and a curse)

Don't have any personal experience with the Galaxy Tab

Exactly, which is why I'd say the iPad is the better choice.

That is exactly the question I'm wrestling with.

I've got iTunes stuff (just music and podcasts though, not apps). He doesn't.
