Which to buy? iPod Touch or low-end iPad? (WiFi only)
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

To use phone networks you'd need an iPhone or an iPad that has both 3G and wi-fi connectivity. Even if you got an iPad with 3G, you most likely could not use your existing data plan with it. Even iPhone owners can't do that.
Whether you prefer an iPod Touch to an iPad otherwise depends on what you think you'll do with it. If you plan to mostly use it as a "couch computer" where you can surf and play games on the couch or read in bed then the bigger iPad screen will be nice. If you want something you can take with you most everywhere, the pocket-sized and much lighter iPod Touch is the way to go.
Also you might think about waiting to see what other tablets hit the market. For example the Dell Streak has a bigger screen than an iPod Touch, at 5" rather than 3.5", but is just about pocketable, and is much smaller and lighter than an iPad.
