I know absolutely nothing about tablets. So, please, help me out. I know you need access to the internet to load apps and to live stream. Do you have to have a data plan..like with a smartphone...or do you access the internet through wifi? Once apps have been loaded, do you need access to the internet to use them?
One kid wants an iPod, one wants an iPad....ages 9 & 7. They only want them for playing games, music and reading. I'm thinking about getting both a tablet which will cost less...maybe Kindle Fire??? We do not have wifi or router at home for them to access internet. I have a Kindle Touch 3G, but we don't have AT&T service so I have to go to a public hotspot or download books from my husband's computer which is installed with Verizon interent card.
Would it be a big waste of money to buy a tablet for them now? Sometime next year hubby is hoping to upgrade to a smartphone with a hotspot. Thanks fo any insight/help!!!
