Can you use it in a car? When you go on the road on a long trip can you use it or do you have to be at home where there is internet??

You have to be somewhere where there is Wifi, like home or starbucks/panera's/internet cafes, etc.

You can't use your home internet and connect to this at same time. You can plug it in to you pc directly but then it's not like a external hard drive. I highly recommend buying a wirless router with a USB port. You than can connect and external hard drive you want and connect to all your pc's including internet.

You can use it on WiFi. If you have a place that you can plug the phone into, and can link into wifi. then it should work wherever you have this. We have used it at my house, my offices, etc. Keep in mind it is an office phone so the size may not be as conducive to travel. You might be better using a softphone service with your Voip co that you use which integrates into your cell phone or computer for travel. Overall, I love this phone though & it works with my Plantronics Bluetooth headset so I am hands free

tried it in the car, but the car radio is better. Also cuts out from time to time so it doesn't much help as a phone speaker. I haven't been able to figure out what to do with this that would be helpful.

Are your asking can you locally access the drive or remotely access it? If its on your home network it does not use the Internet. But if you want remote access from outside your house you need the Internet. The only problem I'm having is remote access. I'm on the second drive, first one replaced by Buffalo, and we cannot keep remote web access working!!!

you can purchase a car plug in. Been thinking about getting one for when I use it in my car instead of constantly using batteries.

No, it plugs into a USB port, so if you have one in your car or have a USB cigarette lighter adapter you can use it.

It has to be plugged in. The typical use case is to be plugged into a USB port in your car.

Yes you can use it in your home. Just comes with a car kit. Have no problems in my home with it.

i believe this thing is for home only. or at least that it wont work outside. however- i thought that you could use it while connected to wifi outside. maybe at coffeeshop or something, but i honestly dont know about taking it on a plane. it would probably not be allowed, relative to the airline's list of objects that cane be taken on plane. also, it would contain metal and would be found n metal detector. good luck

Michelle, you ask a good question, here. Personally, I have used Google Maps on it (there are all kinds of Google applications available, since it's an Android device), but don't see how you can use GPS in another way (like in the car). I don't know if this kind of app is even possible on a tablet in a moving car. Hope I gave you food for thought, at least, but I have no definite answer for you. By the way, I love this device. The only drawbacks I have with it are a relatively short battery life and longer recharge time than an iPad (which I have owned before). But remember, this little beauty is less than $150, while iPads, like Apple products in general, are outrageously more expensive :) Michelle, you ask a good question, here.
