ipad - confused!

IM a bit confused about the ipad, i thought it worked as all laptops did i.e. tune into wireless networks and you dont pay a monthly tarrif.

Yesterday I saw the pricing reductions for iPads, but only if you bought a certain tarrif from orange? do you have to have a mobile tarrif for the ipad? (presumably to use the 3g?) or can you use it as stand alone?

    aha so if I just wanted to use it in work (wifi access) and home with my wifi access that would be OK?
    That makes sense, I guess the 3G bit makes it more portable
