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.


Yeah, that's what we use when we are away from the house... Works pretty
good when you get 4G. Started working better after the huge NE storm. I
think they finally replaced the old crap that really wasn't ready for 4G...
