MUDRUNNER Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I'm thinking of getting my wife a tablet for Christmas this year. ( I know...already Christmas shopping.I normally wait till the week before.) I know absolutely zero about these things. Not wanting to spend a ton of money on one since the kids will end up using it too. We definately need one with 3G or 4G data plan since we don't have internet service at the house. Any input or reviews from people that have one would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MUDRUNNER Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 sorry, i'm only familiar with the ones moses brought down... lol LOL. Wiesenheimer.:yes: Here's the deal...we want to get the internet at the house, but only have two providers for our location. One is $60 a month, and the other is cheaper, but a company that I absolutely will not deal with after previous issues. (I won't mention any names Charter.) So, I can spend $500 and get an IPad or other tablet and pay like $30 a month for wireless broadband service. Another option (which I also no little about) is to upgrade my wifes cell phone and plan to a smart phone with wireless broadband and supposedly you can "tether" the phone to a tablet or laptop to get internet on it, which I have no clue how much a month that is. This is giving me a headache.:wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Here is my .02 on the issue.... An Ipads are the way to go..... Yeah they are $500 but they are the way to go. They have been out and proven while others are trying to get into the game but can't..... However a tablet is really only useful if you have an internet connection. At&t offers a monthly data plan for the Ipad. So the first question would be how good well is at&t's service at your location? The same question would be true with your wive's cell phone. Then if you do add internet to your wives phone is how much data will you get and how much will you use. Most cell phone companies do not offer a unlimited data plan.....and when you go over your bills goes up rather quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 x2 on the iPad. I'm not a big fan of tablets in general, but the iPad is the best of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
