Tablet PC 101 #12 Connect to the mobile Internet with 3G or Next G

Tablet PCs are designed to be used on the move. Most full size Tablet PCs now have a 3G / Next G modem built right in. That means you can connect to broadband speed Internet from practically anywhere in Australia.

Earlier this month I arrived half an hour early to the launch of Motion Computing’s F5. So I sat out in the Melbourne winter sun by the Yarra River with the View Anywhere Motion LE1700 and checked my email. Now this is what working wirelessly was supposed to be about… It’s the stuff of Intel TV commercials.

Be aware, that overseas model Tablet PCs may work on a different mobile network to our Australian options and others be locked to one particular carrier. It’s a good reason to buy a locally sold Tablet PC.
