yes 3G referes mostly to mobile Internet(for us techies ive heard 4g is on its way).. It's the same for phone, mobile internet dongles, tablets or whatever
Though most tablets should have WIFI connection so it can connect to your router at home(and many other localised free wifi hotspots out and about) as well as a G connection
Android is also open sourced and based from linux operating system. This means i guess that anybody can make software/apps for it, if they have the know how, where with awful apple products you are limited to strict licensing blah blah
Margaret, I think it may be best if you don't fully understand capabilities of different tablets to post which ones you are looking at here and im sure a few of us will be happy to read reviews and specs and give you advice... Studio25, Entwisi etc will have good opinions on this
Im thinking about an android phone myself for November when my phone contract runs out, though i guess a new phone will be out by then, so I have been looking into them recentley, and i am guessing i will be going for the HTC HD Desire in november

These terms are bandied about willy-nilly and no-one ever seems to question what they mean/refer to.
So I thought I would show my ignorance and ask.  |
