need advice please, how do i get internet away from the house? im asuming i can connect them to my bt home hub at home

am looking at spending £100 to £130...can i get one for this suitable for games and internet browsing..dont download films or anything. need something smaller than my laptop but bigger than my phone screen

It won't be fantastic for games but should play Angry Birds. £100-£130 doesn't get you a lot of tablet and TBH I'd not bother as it'll drive you mad.

From looking at them and totting them up, I'd recommend the 3rd one, i'm also now thinking of getting this for myself!
The problem with the cheaper Android tablets at this range are the touchscreens. Resistive touchscreens are old technology now and feel clunky to work, as you have to press the screen inwards for it to function. The NATPC however is the only Android in this price range with a capacitive touchscreen. If you get it please tell me what you think because I'm thinking of getting one too now!

If you have an Android/Iphone you can wirelessly 'tether' the tablet to the phone thereby using the phone's internet connection. The tablet sees this as a WiFi signal.

Be careful as some Mobile provider's don't allow this (although many don't actually enforce the rule unless you use large amounts of data).

and have a htc wildfire s..would that work?

also am i right in thinking i can get free wifi away from home with BT? how would i do that?

re. BT if you're a customer I understand you should be able to access any BT Openzone hotspot. Look up their website because I've gotten a bit confused about the differences between openzone and BT Fon. In addition, I've never managed to successfully connect to a BT hotspot on the move, and because its a free addition it's impossible to get someone on the phone to help you!

from what I remember as a previous BT customer, openzone was not free (at least not on all tariffs) and fon is only available if you opt in. To opt in,you go to your modem settings and choose to opt in there. This allows your homehub to be used as a fon access point for others but also enables you to access fon from anywhere where it is available.
You may need to ring BT to get your password etc to use fon.
