Q. Please try to clarify your response to THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY.... i'm trying to find out if the Google Android Tablet has wifi built in like the Droid does.
A. There isn't "A google android tablet" there are many. 99% of them are WiFi enabled which means you will be able to connect to the internet with them if you are in range of a wireless network to which you have access such as your home, office or school network or one of the many thousands of WiFi hotspots in public places. In order to connect without a WiFi network you need a 3g connection which the more expensive android tablets can do. Tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy tab and the commtiva N700 will take a 3g sim which allows you to surf the net anywhere you have a 3g signal.
Some WiFi only tablets are compatible with 3g mobile broadband dongles which do the same job but stick out the side of your tablet.

How can you get g chat notifications on your android phone?
Q. I want to get a notification on my phone if someone messages me on g chat, is that possibly and if so how? My boyfriend has an android tablet and every time someone messages him on g chat it rings and I would like have that too. Thanks!
A. What you describe is the default behavior when you're online (3G or Wifi). Anyway, if that's not the case, you may want to check your notifications settings (in phone settings), and ensure you have it on ring, vibrate, or light (for instance).
What's your phone model anyway? It could help.

How much data would one need for simple internet browsing?
Q. I'm planning on getting an android tablet and I'm not sure how much data I would need: 1GB, 2GB, or 5GB. I'll basically just be visiting sites, watching youtube/flash videos, and accessing apps. I'll mostly use it at home though, where I have wi-fi. Which would be sufficient?
Will the data that I use at home (on wi-fi) affect the amount that I have left on my plan?

A. Hi Tammy:
"Simple internet browsing" is such a subjective term these days. "Just visiting websites" isn't as always as simple as it may seem--depending on the content of the website (especially if any streaming videos are involved in the equation).
Your best bet is to discuss what you'll be doing with your provider and get their recommendations. If you were "just visiting sites", you could get away with the lower-end (1- 2GB plans). However, because you plan to be watching YouTube/flahs videos (and if uploading downloading photos are also in the equation) away from home, then the 5GB plan would be "optimal."
Again--if you start viewing more videos and uploading/downloading photos away from home WiFi; you'll definitely need the bigger data plan.
You can always start with 1- 2GB and then upgrade the plan after you've reviewed your first month of usage. However--during the first month of owning your tablet, I'd ease-of and not "go crazy" with the usage outside the home. Like most things, it's best to "start easy" and then "ramp up" as you go...
Using your WiFi at home doesn't count against your data plan--provided you remember to switch your tablet to use WiFi at home (or configure it to automatically do so when at home). As a Droid user myself, I often have to "double-check" my device to make sure it's in fact using WiFi and not 3G.
Hope this helps...
