MyFi?? You need a special card for Verizon "3G" - Don't waste time, get ATT

Question

I spent time in line and got a Verizon 3G Ipad2 today. I was told at the store, "plug it into a computer with Itunes and select your plan..." My Ipad2 wont do that, I don't have a Wifi signal. So, after 5 hours on the phone with both Apple and Verizon (Neither would just give a straight answer, "This is what's going on...") a Customer Service Rep at Verizon tells me about "MyFi", a special little card that allows the Ipad2l to work with Verizon. No one told me anything about this, neither at the Apple Store or at the Verizon Corporate Store I bought this at (Verizon Cor. Store told me, "It's a new product...it's going to have glitches", meaning even the people at Verizon don't know what "Myfi" is...!!)
Bottom line-
The Ipad2 will not work with '3G' unless I have this little "myfi" card. AT&T Ipad2s have it pre-installed()...
So, I am supposed to keep track of this little 'connector card' to stay connected???
"It's really small...", the Verizon rep says...
Kind of defeats the purpose of the Ipad2 to have to carry a little card on my person....what if I lose it?
Don't waste your time, like I did (5 hours on the phone!!!! Was told to go back to the Verizon store, which was just closing, told, "Sorry, come back tomorrow at 9AM..." after spending a $1K)
just get the AT&T Ipad2!

Answer 1

he said specifically that the Verizon model does NOT have a Mifi internally
Correct. It does not. It has a 3G chip inside that allow it to connect to the Verizon CDMA cell network.
only the At&T model does have it in it
The ATT version does not have mifi in it either. It is not needed because it has a 3G chip inside that allow it to connect to the ATT GSM cell network. The ATT iPad also requires an ATT microsim card,network gives it the identification to use the ATT network. Verizon does not require a microsim.
that is why you need Mifi to run Verizon with an Ipad2...
You do not need mifi to use a Verizon 3GiPad 2. It has a 3G chip inside, the same as a cell phone.
Mifi is a small, completely separate device about the size of a pack of cigarettes. It connects to a cell network and creates a "wifi hotspot" which allows wifi only devices (Verizon iPad 2 is not wifi only) to connect to the Internet when there is no wifi around.
The 1st gen iPad could not connect to the Verizon network, so Verizon sold the wifi only version with a mifi device. This is not needed with a Verizon iPad 2.
