If you want to use the 3G cellular data service - you need a sim card. If you just plan on using WiFi, then it doesn't matter.
The 3G cellular service allows you to connect the iPad to the internet in areas where WiFi is not available. You do not have to install the sim card in order to use the iPad as long as you just use WiFi. You can always purchase the service later if you don't want it right now.
