7" android tablets

Re internet away from home, I use mifi, an older model of this Huawei:

It works with my Acer Android tablet, also been used with an Ipod, Kindle, and laptop. For the data, I buy a 3 preloaded 3gb data sim card with 3 months life like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Broadband-Preloaded-Mobile-Devices/dp/B003Z0T3X2/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_text_b
My older Huawei is locked to Three. Connectivity has been excellent for me, but the newer ones linked to are unlocked.
Really pleased when I found the 3gb/3month sim, currently £12’ish. I’m not a heavy nor consistent user when out and about , and till I found these I would top up with 1gb for £10 valid for only 1 month, as and when. Because my use is sporadic I often ran out of month before I’d used the full 1gb, so money was wasted.
A friend has a resistive version of the NATPC from the same seller you link to. He had some initial teething problems with it, but the seller sorted him out quite quickly, and he is now very happy. I did think about getting the capacitive version for myself (thought the resistive screen was frustrating), but I wanted to scan bar codes (book cataloguing) and the NATPC ones seemed to only have the front facing camera, so that’s why I chose the Acer. My mifi unit works with my friend's NATPC fine, although he’s on BT internet at home, so uses their network when he’s out and about.0 -

Yes you should be able to share your Wildfire S mobile data with a wifi enabled tablet:

Also, I'm on Vodafone and BTopenzone is included free of charge on my plan so it might be worthwhile checking if you already have this. You will also be able to connect to other free wifi hotspots like The Cloud in McDonalds and Wetherspoons.0 -
For the price you can't get a much better spec than the Ainol Novo7 Elf (but you can get a better name, haha). The next best would be the Aurora from the same company but that will be slightly more expensive because it has a better screen (the new batches will made by LG and are shipping the end of this month).
You can get a Elf for £119.99 on Amazon. It supports 3G dongles too if you're not going to be tethering to your mobile phone.Dry January: 31/31 days. :T0 -

Nope, unfortunately there are no good Android tablets for £50.
You might get one that works but is infuriating to use with a resistant screen and very slow rendering etc that crashes and won't run any decent apps and the battery only lasts 3/4 hours.
But no good ones.0 -
