The iPad comes in two versions: a Wi Fi only version and a WiFi + 3G version. If you only need to use the iPad at home then the Wi Fi version will connect to the internet via your home network. If you plan to use the iPad out of the home then you will need the 3G version (unless you limit your usage to cafes and stores that provide a free Wi Fi connection) to connect to the Internet. In the US the only 3G option is currently with AT&T.
