iPad and micro SIMs

There are theories about why they went with micrSIMs. Like they didn't want iPhone users to just pop their SIMs into it and avoid paying data for a second device.

Or that they didn't want the favorable plans (no contract, $15 or $30) to be used for other netbooks or tablets.

It could be that Apple is giving AT&T a piece of the sale of the 3G models to get these contract terms and they may be negotiating to do the same with carriers in other countries.
