Can I?

Hi, can anyone tell me please, can I use a T-Mobile mobile broadband usb stick 120 in my Acer Iconia pad. I got the usb stick earlier this year, and ahem 'filed it away' . Having a clear out and came across it today, and thought I'd ask you clever techy peeps here if it would work, and if it would, how do I set it up? (not very techy myself, but quite good at following instruction, well sometimes!) The instruction leaflet that comes with it has a setup for a Windows or Mac device only.
Thanks in anticipation.

OS aside, unless it has a USB port, you won't even be able to plug it in.

Yes, it does have a USB port. Is it worth plugging it in and seeing what happens?

It won't work unless you can locate Android drivers for it. If you want 3G internet access on it, you have to link it up using wi-fi to a MiFi or similar device.

No. I don't think this model is compatible with Android. There are some that are, but yours is not one of them. A MiFi would have been good for you. The cheapest I.ve seen were sold recently, for around £26.

Have a look at the manufacturer's website to see if any Android drivers are available-I doubt it.
