To get the data off of it, you plug it into a USB port and plug a keyboard into it and type in a specific string of characters and that makes it visible to the computer as a thumb drive.

Unfortunately, no. There is not a plug or USB to hook up this device to a computer. There are several cheap or free apps if you have a smart phone which track all of your information, which is better.

No, it does not have to be connected. I think you can connect to the computer for updates, but we've never done it

It does require a USB connection, but it comes with a cable that has the audio jack and the USB input, so you can charge it while you download, or , there are A/C chargers and car chargers for USB.

It connects to the computer via a FireWire connection. Most PCs don't have this.

The device has no data storage capacity. It has no independent power and only operates via USB power, i.e., when plugged into the computer. It is the USB connection that both powers the computer and transmits the data to the computer. So, you will need to be connected to the computer to use its functionality. Hope this helps.

No you don't it has a battery/ charge. You can plug into computer to download missions and such bit don't have to as you can use this without using the computer.

It's a standalone unit. You do not need a computer for regular operation. You just need to connect this unit to your network via wired or wireless connection.

You need the internet to fetch the files needed to run the tablet, you only will need internet while installing or updating drivers, which is not often. You can use the tablet after installing without internet ^^

Short answer - don't know. There is nothing in the documentation to indicate you can. The USB port seems to be only for extending the drive space. I would say it is not intended to be connected to a computer via USB connection. Mine is connected via the wireless network and it works fine.

You cannot download directly from a PC. You must download from your PC to a micro SD card or flash drive...

To download it yes. I don't think to use it once it's loaded. Didn't really matter for us since it never worked properly.

It works exactly like a usb keyboard - so yes it has to be connected to the computer. You also need a monitor of course!
