using a mobile internet stick with ipad

Sorry but no... Not supported. If you have the 3G model you can purchase micro sim card when in Europe.

As the previous poster stated you can't use a USB mobile broadband dongle directly with the iPad but you could plug it into a Mac and create wifi hotspot using internet sharing.

This would be no good for travelling of course but there is, at least here in the UK, something called MIFI - this combines a mobile broadband dongle with a wifi hub and is about the size of a small mobile phone. This works out, for me at least, a lot cheaper than the 3G iPad and it can be used with upto 5 devices at the same time so I can have my iPod and 3 other Macs/ PCs attached as well if I want.

When out and about I just switch it on and pop it in my pocket.

I always forget about the mifi option... I've seen them as small as a credit and almost as thin as one.
