The lack of 3G/4G on a tablet may not be so serious an issue. Most
places you end up using a tablet will have free wifi available, which
means the need to pay for an additional 3G appliance (in addition to a
smart phone) is not overwhelming. Wifi is faster, anyway.


On my hardware, 4G kicks wi-fi's ass.

I have a 4G Verizon aircard that I use with laptops. When it's
working well (not always, but improving), it is faster than a good
cable connection.
