Hi. I only have one computer in my house. If I were to get a tablet, well all I would need it for would be to watch videos, access my Verizon webmail, (I don't play games at all). I do go on FB
This Nexus thing just came out. Actually you can only pre-order it. The price is $199. Can't afford it now but if I ever do, well, all I want to know is 1. Do I need to put a router in my home and configure the Nexus 7 to get me on the internet. 2. If I don't get a router and people in my area have routers, I can get a signal from them right? They don't care, I asked them already. 3. Can I sign into my Verizon account and view my email. I already know this tablet is good for vidoes, gaming, etc. I just need my own device to go on the internet because Alan never gets off. Here's a video of this Nexus thing https://play.google.com/store/device...MTg5NjUwMzYiXQ.. Thanks Melody

It is wireless , so a "hot spot" or wireless signal from somewhere is needed.
It should be able to browse the web, so going to Verizon website should work also.

I can get an android tablet for under a hundred bucks, I can get my verizon email, surf the net and play videos?? I don't play games so I don't care about that. Why would someone expand memory by a micro card? Thanks SO much. What's the exact name of this thing? How cool?? Mel

Look at what I just found at Tiger Direct. I've used them for my Flips and never got a bad deal from them.
I can afford this. So if I get it and I take it out of the box, do I have to do ANYTHING? It comes with built in wi fi so if I am near a wi fi hot spot, I just touch the screen and I'll be on the internet. And I gather it comes with a virtual keyboard so I just type the url of where i want to go and I'll get there. So here is my next question. If I want to come to Neurotalks, or another forum, I go there, and then there's an option to put an icon on the front of the screen. Everything is touch with these tablets. I know nothing about them, but I CAN learn. At least I think I can. For this price, I'll experiment. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...22996&csid=_61 I wish I could find a tutorial that would guide me from the beginning on how one uses a tablet. Thanks much Melody
