1252450 2012-01-06 21:40:00 Based on what you have said and this picture: thenextweb.com I have come to the conclusion that buying a cheap chinese tablet which is a blatant rip off of other brands is best for you. Why? I doubt they would be suing anyone and they suck so much that your wife (who I believe you are buying for) will be unable to use in the way that she wanted.

I'm not saying that the Asus tablet is a bad choice nor am I saying go out and buy an iPad just because it was shoved down everyone's throat constantly. I'd actually recommend the Asus Transformer (Long battery life and the gorilla glass are great features to have). I'm just confused/concerned as to how you came to that decision.

Thank you for your input, but I'll pass on a cheap chinese piece of junk, as I love my wife too much for such a low blow. Maybe the way I reach my decision escapes you, fair enough, but I believe it should not be too much of a concern for you. We are all different and we live our life with ethical values impressed upon us by way of our education.

You have two choices, get the iPad with 3G or you can tether the connection from a cell phone

Can they be tethered with all phones or just iPhones?

Does the 3G one have a slot for a prepaid sim card?

1252456 2012-01-06 23:03:00 If you are looking at getting the Asus Transformer, wait for the "Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201" it has a quad-core Tegra CPU Netsukeninja (13296)
1252457 2012-01-06 23:07:00 Does the 3G one have a slot for a prepaid sim card?

Yes, but it will be for a micro-SIM rather than the "normal" one. (Although you could cut a normal one to make it fit)
