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...

How is Cube U9GT4 Comparing with Ainol Crystal?When is Cube U9GT5 Coming Out?
Q. I'm gonna find a cheap android tablet for my nephew,I just read a number of reviews about Ainol Crystal on engadget and other great blog.That tablet seems a good choice,but I find the tech specs of U9GT4 impressive too.
I need someone give me a professional suggestion.
I need someone give me a professional suggestion.
A. Looks
Keywords:angular,round
The same 7'' tablet,the same light plastic shell,the similar classic white back cover and black front face,cube u9gt4 shares too much commons with ainol novo 7 crystal.The main difference I feel is the sense of touch.when I'm holding cube u9gt4,it touches sharp and angular,while ainol crystal is kind of round and smooth designed.I can't say which one has higher quality,but ainol crystal looks cheaper made than cube u9gt4 (BTW,I personally think it looks like rumored mini ipad pic).
Tech Specs
Keywords:low cost,high quality.
Within $100 tablets,cube u9gt4 and ainol crystal are without doubt the best choices as holiday gifts.
specs,cube runs a RK3066 1.6GHz cortex-A9 dual core CPU,ainol crystal chooses an Amlogic 8726-M6 1.5GHz Cortex-A9 dual core,they both pack a 7'' 1024*600 capacitive screen IPS display,which looks great from all angles.Meanwhile,they have no rear cameras,cube u9gt4 has only one front face 2.0 Megapixels camera,ainol crystal,0.3 Megapixels.Both tablets are also the outstanding representatives of android 4.1 tablets in entry level tablet market.
From the WIFI and Benchmark tests,we can easily see that Cube U9GT4 receive stronger wifi signal than Ainol Crystal,though just a little bit.It also gets more scroes from benchmark test.
Cube U9GT5 is a China-based Retina display tablet,with 2048*1056 res and 264ppi(exactly the same as new ipad).From the news of official weibo of Cube,it will out on Oct 18th.

My Android tablet keeps saying Authentication Error whenever I try connecting to the router at home. Help?
Q. I have an Android Ematic Internet Tablet. I am certain that the pass phrase I'm putting in is correct. I tried the all-caps trick but it didn't work. I'm not much of a tech person, so I might need alternative words for some of the confusing technological terms out there. Thanks!
A. This tablet gets poor reviews on Amazon, including people reporting WiFi problems. If you are sure that you're entering the password correctly, it's probably not your fault that it's not working, it's just a junky product.
What is a powerful android tablet that is cheap?
Q. I've been looking at the samsung galaxy tab 2 but I have heard mixed things in reviews.
Is there one like it or better for a the same or cheaper price?

A. The best android tablet in the budget category should be the Asus TF300. It is one of the lowest priced Tablet which comes with quad core processor. The quad-core processor has made this tablet the fastest Android device on the market. Apart from the quad-core processor, inside the tablet you will get a 1.2MP front camera for video conferencing and an 8MP rear camera with a large F2.2 aperture, 5-element lens allows for high quality images along with 1080p HD video recording. There is also a supreme audio courtesy of ASUS SonicMaster technology. All these features has made the Asus Transformer 300 an extra-ordinary piece of work.
