US pre-paid micro SIM for iPad

AT&T will sell you a SIM, but they will not guarantee that you can use it.

To sign up for service on-device, you need an American credit card, or a prepaid credit card with a US address (easy to manage), or an American Express card (my Canadian AMEX card works). In theory if you can assign a US address to your credit card from home, that might work. (Some foreign banks have US credit cards for their clients - I have one - but I haven't checked to see if I can associate a US mailing address with it since I don't have such an address and AMEX is working fine for me.)
