My droid is to small and it dosnt work on there, I tried. My laptop would be too heavy at times and that would make it harder to be consistint with the lectures.
I am very not familyer with the wifi tablets.

Dose it mean it only works where wifi is provided? YES
Would I beable to conect to my work network if I know the password? or any open network? please explain. If your employer allows it

I see one on craiglist 7" for $80 I txted the person he said its a orginal 7 inch MID what do you think? Never heard of it

dont want to get a connection on it. I am paying for that on my phone already. I dont think I'll find an unlimted deal on a tablet like I have on my phone now with Verizon, thats over.
Thanks

If you have reasonable access to WiFi in all the places you would be using your tablet then you can go with a cheap WiFi-only tablet.

For me, there are too many places where I use a tablet that do not offer any WiFi so I went with an iPad. As far as I know there are no other tablets that work directly over a cellular network. You may be able to use your phone as a WiFi access point for your tablet. AT&T charges too much for this other carriers allow it (for now) free of charge.

The iPad is not a cheap tablet, but it works very well at what it does and for me, this is an item where cheap may not be a good thing...
