Re: tablet on a dongle
Heya,
You have a couple of options.....not sure if the tablet supports a dongle though, will need to look later.
Mifi - this is like a dongle, but broadcast a wifi network for all devices to connect too

Personal AP - your phone may be capable of broadcasting a local network and sharing your internet
1. Check you won't incur additional charges by using this feature
2. Don't exceed your data allowance
3. Don't forget a password ;)
4. Most Android / iphones support this without any problem - look in settings
Do you have a dongle? There are also devices like mifi, that take a dongle......

Arguing with a woman is like reading a Software Licence Agreement.
