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...

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.
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.

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.

Do I need to sign up for the android market?
Q. I am thinking of returning my ipad to get an android tablet. Just wondering what the difference is between the android market and appstore. Are there many free apps on the android market. Do i need to give my credit card info to sign up for the android market?
Also--- the android market makes apps for many different tablets so will apps fit the screen perfectly?

A. the difference between the android market and the app store is that the app store is filtered, as in apple makes sure each app in there is safe and approved, and that people can only give reviews if they purchase the app. For the android market, anyone can submit any app, and write any review. its more unorganized. You dont need to give your credit card to sign in, you just need a google account.
