From initial reports, it seems like providers in other countries are not supporting the iPad yet.

The answer is YES and MAYBE.

The iPad 3G uses micro-sim card. Apparently, a micro-sim is just a standard sim with it's sides trimmed away, leaving only the metallic part.

The reason why I said YES is because I actually saw one using SmartBro and it worked!
I said MAYBE, on the other hand, because I haven't seen anyone use it with other networks (Tattoo, Sun, etc.).

I myself am buying the 64GB 3G in the US. I'm sharpening my hobby knife at the same time.
