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...

A. Custom iPad apps help you extend the basic functionality of the device by adding features that may not inherently be supported. The advantage is that you use software to help control or extend an iPad's use, whether for word processing, privacy, VPN or data protection.
Specially if you consider the corporate or enterprise application of iPads, the need for secure Internet & encryption of business communications is key. The same goes for regular consumers as well who use WiFi and 3G to access the Internet. Apps help in providing an extra layer of security.

What is the best android tablet for an efficient price?
Q. I was looking at the Acer iconia a500. I love the USB and price. Under 400 is good. What other tablets around 400 are there that are decent?
A. You can always go the New " Kindle fire" and mod/root it for like $15 bucks.
I have a tab on android rooted ,then for the hell of it I bought the kindle fire used ,, and rooted it I'm happy with it I paid $120 used even at $199 its a good price and a good product for that price even without rooting it .
But I'm a geek so I prefer maxing out all its potential..
Downfall no camera but I have phone for that..
Or
Buy a used android tablet cheap and then modd it,,
You'll get a bigger bang for your buck
Especially if its a 3g tablet slap a simple mobile $40 sim in it root an unlock it and ur good to go on 4g data.
Just a thought.
Or depending on your phone you can jailbreak or root it,, For free tethering to your kindle or tablet..etc
Its very,very inexpensive to achieve this stuff plus tons of people that can do it for under $15
