The Apple iPad Will Change Everything With VoIP and Cell Phone Contracts

By Aimee Jones

In only a few short months we will all get our chance to purchase Apple's latest gadget, the iPad. It's a pretty sweet gadget if you are so inclined by Apple's ability to construct shiny digital toys for you to play with. It really is going to be a magical device much like the iPhone continues to be.

What makes the iPad such a revolution is not so much inside device itself, which is quite interesting. No, what makes me truly want an iPad is that it is planning for being an constantly connected 3G device with no contract.

Not having a contract is large and I mean like really large. From the rest from the world it is hard to understand maybe how inside the United States we get stuck with horrible cellular phone service and crappy contracts. It's just the way it's.

However, the iPad is going to be VoIP enabled. That means you can make Skype style phone calls right on the device. The iPad is literally a digital telephone pad. How cool is that?

It's like all of a sudden we've gone from the dark ages of Nokia cell phone rubbish to a full fledged Star Trek communicator in a few short years. How is this even possible right?

What is definitely remarkable is that instantly men and women will be able to get a $30 per month plan that works just like their normal phone would, only without having a contract, minutes, etc. to worry about. No more paying for texting or separate services. 1 price, a single web connection, one cell phone service. I'm stoked.

What gets me even more jazzed about this is that it's not going to be on some crappy device. It's on an Apple iPad. That is like the top of the heap in terms of industrial design. I love quality industrial design, so this is going to be like the best toy ever.

I guess maybe I'm just excited because it's one more step toward the kind of freedom that we have with a traditional internet connection. You don't pay for extra services like YouTube just because it would make the internet company more money. You pay for internet and you can do whatever you want over that connection. The future looks awesome.
