Yes, it is.I know they are not direct replacements for laptops but was wondering is it possible to write documents on tablets and transfer them to word on another PC.
What you could do is get a 3G wifi modem - and insert the sim into it -rather than the usb dongle. That way, either of you could access the interweb wirelessly with both devices.We have no landline or wifi at home. My wife gets the internet on her laptop with a plug-in USB (metoer I think). Could I use the same device on a tablet or would this be an issue for me.
Well I have an Ipad and I find I am locked into Apple a bit too much, also it won't play flash player. My partner (a techy geek) has movies and TV series on his hard drive that he can transfer to and watch on his Google Nexus tablet, but can't transfer to my Ipad unless he jail-breaks it (not recommending this). Am thinking of getting one myself at Christmas maybe as I find his to be excellent. In saying all that, the Ipad looks gorgeous and is very useful but quite difficult also to get photos through to it, you have to import via ITunes. With an android tablet you can connect direct to a desktop and transfer things where the Ipad everything has to be done through Itunes as far as I can tell.
You'd need a mobile broadband package (using a dongle like your wife's; I don't know whether these can be shared or are tied to an account); costs will depend on your usage and provider. I've no direct experience of this but there's a whole forum devoted to it over on Boards.ie which you might find helpful.One more question, how possible is it to have wifi at home if you have not got a landline and what sort of monthly cost are you looking at?
Since 2 weeks ago, I've been using one of in combination with my galaxy note. They're the dogs proverbials.For typing, and a bit of protection, I also got her one of [broken link removed]. Unless you're used to it — and even then — typing on a touchscreen is a royal PITA.

The new Google Nexus will be on the market soon, possibly a new iPAD and other manufacturers, such as Samsung, aren't going to just watch from the touchline.
I'm not drawn to the Kindle Fire cos, AFAIK, there are restrictions with what content can be loaded. It's intended as a device for the consumption of content purchased from amazon. Also the version of Android used is materially modified by amazon.
