One fast question: if I buy an iPad 3G in Europe will it work on other places without jailbreak? I ask this because I heard that, in Europe, iPads are not blocked to any telecom but I am not sure about that.

On the other hand I am afraid do buy because I know that their cousins, iphones, are blocked to a specific telecom.

Another question is regarding activation. As far as I remembered, my iPhone required me to do an activation step on iTunes and I remember it was also activated (or whatever) on the store (I remembered the salesman connected it to a computer and did some stuff before giving me the device).

Is the iPad in europe totally free of operator? totally unblocked? thanks.
