There are several internet connections that do not require the use of a phone connection.
1. DSL
DSL uses the same phone line to connect to the internet that is used for phone conversations. However, you can still surf the internet and talk on the phone at the same time. You will need a DSL modem (get from your service provider) and filters to put on all your phone jacks that has a phone connected to them.
2. T1 Line
A T1 line is a separate line that the phone company installs into your house. Still need some sort of modem.
3. Cable Internet
Perhaps the fastest of them all. You would connect your cable line to, yes a cable modem.
4. Satellite
This is the most costly but most reliable. It gets it signal exactly as the name suggests. The speeds are not as fast as the other ones.
An internet connection that requires a phone line is called dial-up. There are many different internet connections that do not require a phone line. This includes cable internet access and broadband access.
Connecting a computer to the internet can be done in a number of ways. A direct connection would be hard wired or plugged in to cable, dsl, or phone access. An indirect connection would use a wireless router or hot spot.
An network access point is where you can wirelessly or wired (depending on the router) gain access to network capabilities it is connected to (eg. internet, domains, remote desktop). The access point when wireless has a WEP/WPA authentication key to prevent unwanted connectors from gain access to those privileges mentioned. The connection goes from the internet modem, then to router (the access point), then to the device you wish to gain network for (whether wireless or wired)
To connect to the internet you have to have 3 things. Internet account A connection to the internet (phoneline, cable modem, dsl, wireless) a program that will activate the port that is connected to the internet. If there is no physical connection to the internet (phone line, network cable, wireless card) then the 'seemingly unintelligent device) can not connect. What type of device is this? Is there a phoneline/network cable plugged into it? Is there wireless access capability on this device? Do you have Wireless internet at the site this device is at? Let me know, and I may be able to answer the question.
The iPad has no modem and has no method by which you could install one. While one can theoretically connect a wireless router to a dial-up modem, it is very uncommon, and has numerous drawbacks. If you are unable to get a DSL / Cable connection, or a satellite uplink if those are not available in your area you maybe be able to set up a connection through your cell phone. Good Luck

You can use the cell phone without a wireless internet connection in order to make phone calls. However if you wanted to search the web or answer emails you would need to have access to the internet.
To surf the web, you need a web browser. Most smart phones come with such a program. Then as long as you have a wifi connection or data you're willing to use you can access the internet via that web browser, or the apps you have that require an internet connection.
A wifi connection to a router connected to the internet, or a cell phone with internet access through bluetooth tethering
Both yes and no. If you would download some games from Internet, this would definitely require a connection. Some games also may store your progress or high-score on their websites, or check for upgrades, which also requires internet access. Otherwise, it's not needed.

yes yes it does, that is mainly what the phone is for, (beside texting!!) it is easy to access and great connection internet and it is handy :)
No, but you do need an access point so you can connect to the internet. If you do not have an Internet connection available then your wifi is useless, it only serves as a way of connecting to an existing Internet connection.
Yes
No it does not. All it needs is a voice network connection so that you can set up your palm profile and send and receive phone calls. For everything else you would need a internet connection.
