Windows 8 Phone & Tablet

Hi All,

I have a Nokia Lumia 920 (Windows 8 Phone) and I want to get a tablet, Specifically a Windows 8 Tablet. But I was wondering If anyone knows how the phone and tablet communicate or can integrate with one another.

Thanks
Alex

    No doubt someone will be here soon, but as I too am a new tablet user, I am amazed how thse things communicate. I tend to use Google Playstore via my laptop, simply because it is easier. If I see an app I fancy, I investigate more by one click, then on the screen I am reliably informed that should I download the app, it will appear on my tablet, which it does, so seemingly it's something like bluetooth.

    Integrate Blue Tooth or WiFI usually .
    Also via Cloud storage from Microsoft i guess if Windows .
    Some newer devices cam also use Near Field Communications , NFC to transfer data a process often known as bumping phones .

    Why anyone would want a Windows8 tablet is beyond me, still takes all sorts, I'd suggest sticking with Android until Microsoft becomes a serious player, if ever.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
