Hi David, You might consider joining the viphone mailing list if you haven't already done so. It's another google group with some of the same members and mods as this group, but it focusses more specifically on the i-devices. This question seems to come up frequently on the viphone list and there are a lot of iphone, i-touch and ipad users there. In fact, we just went through another ipad vs iphone thread and it is clear the preferences vary widely from person to person and there are many legitimate reasons why some folks prefer the ipad.
In my personal experience, owning both an iphone 4 and a 3g ipad, my iPhone wins hands-down in over 90 percent of the situations where I could have used either device. Also, your subject line specifically mentions 3g/wifi and I personally think the 3G option is an important differentiator between the ipad 3G and the i-touch and iphone. The i-touch does not offer 3G natively, and while the iphone does, the data plans are mandatory, at least here in the US, while the data plans for the ipad can be stopped and started at will at any time.
