LML iPad Users,

I understand that the iPad has access to current weather via WiFi and 3G =

As an alternative to XM weather service, is it possible to have internet =

not only give weather to the iPad, but also give browser and email =

Is satellite internet and WiFi hotspot not feasible in our small planes?
