Morpho

So tragically, I'll need a new iPad.  As the culmination of a disastrous week, poor Butterfly slid off a table and cracked her screen.  She's been my dear companion for a year and a half, and gave her life nobly.  I want to name the new one for her:  Psyche.

This time, I think I'd like connectivity.  Mostly I've been fine with just Wifi, but it would be nice to have a fill-in when I'm out of range.  Being constitutionally averse to cellphones, I hadn't realized that you choose at the inception:  AT&T or Verizon.  They're different machines.

The threes are said to be dazzlingly beautiful, but they only have 4G.  It won't work in Europe--not for several years--and it certainly won't work in rural Connecticut, where I need it most just now.

The twos are now deprecated and on sale.  As far as I can gather for 3G, Verizon is said to have better coverage over here but none in Europe.  Which leaves AT&T.
