For several years, I've had a droid phone and used 3G for data transfer. It has always been a simple and effective solution. I watched tablets appear and become popular, but I could never understand why. This week I decided not wanting it might be because I haven't tried it.
So I bought a tablet at fifty percent off, forty-five bucks. I bought a router for forty. As far as I know, that and my existing cable net connection would get my tablet connected for a home starter setup. But then I stopped trying and boxed everything back up, to be returned tomorrow.
I didn't even bother to try and bring this stuff to life. I gave up when I realized that doing all this is just another, but more cumbersome and less secure way of doing what I've been doing for years with my droids. Sure, tablets can have a lot bigger screens, but that's not enough to win me over.
With my new 4G droid with a bigger screen (for me), I'll wait for a real miracle.
Like a big tablet that can split 4G duty time with a phone... call me a luddite.
