I'm working in New Zealand and my wife just came over for a visit with her shiny new iPad. Now I want one, but I'm not sure if I should buy one here (64 gb with 3G) or wait until I'm back home. If I buy a 3G model here, will it work on the AT&T network when I get home? I see that bot ATT and Verizon have their own model, so I am assuming there is a difference, I just don't want to have to go with Verizon since everything else I have is ATT.

thanks!

You will not be able to purchase a Verizon iPad in New Zealand, as it's a US only carrier. If you don't use Verizon, then any GSM product you purchase (as long as it's unlocked, which the iPads are) will work on AT&T.
