It works wonderfully well!

You should think twice about it before you make a decision on whether or not you want to buy it for $99.

It's a little tricky for people to call it wireless when they really mean it can connect on wifi, but you still have that darn wire to plug into the wall, so is it really wireless? This is in the FAQ and yeah you have to buy other stuff, I assume a wifi router and a wifi card for the vpad to be connected via wifi. However, wouldn't it be good as a stand alone device with the power plug and a long internet cord to set up where you want to talk with others on a vp?

It's all crap. Two friends had told me that they were not pleased how vPad has performed. They are trying to collect the money from people to compensate the loss in the company's money on development/research. And, I am sure that people do not realize that the wireless is not part of the vpad! It is only an optional. If you really want to have it wireless, you must pay more!
