QUOTE(DikkieD @ Dec 4 2011, 02:04 PM) What is the main explanation those tablet supliers do not release these devices with 3G from day 1? Most people with tablets are on the road...not always can you connect easily to wifi.....how come it is always a 2nd version that has 3G support...? Can I just connect to my iphone via tethering to the prime and have wifi whereever I go? as long as your phone can create a hotspot... u can have wifi on the go with wifi featured devices |

QUOTE(C-Fu @ Dec 5 2011, 12:37 AM) the biggest issue with using phone as the wifi hotspot instead of your tablet is battery life. I'd rather let the phone connect my hotspot-enabled tablet since the tablet has bigger battery and (logically) better reception due to the larger size (thus larger antenna, generally lah). i carry my Transformer pretty much everywhere, so it's a no-brainer for it to be the hotspot IMO. It already is my extra battery charger for my phone  Its depend on ppl preferences... If I have hotspot enabled tablet... why would I connect my phone to it since I have bigger screen... than using the phone... If you are a heavy tablet user... than must wait for 3G tablet but if a casual user... like me.. will go for wifi version as I can connect to my phone hotspot... and the tablet can be my extra battery charger.... ^so you not losing anything here I believe...  Then again... it's all depend ppl preferences... This post has been edited by exkaizen: Dec 5 2011, 08:49 AM |
