Can Surf on-the-go be configured by an Android tablet or is a laptop the only way to configure like the Surfer Mini was.

Probably can,but if you google the company their tech support is great. its wifi in and out, it also has an Ethernet port and usb port. So i imagine you turn wifi on your phone and login to ip address.

It's browser based. If you are connected to the router, you should be able to configure it.

I may be wrong but I seem to have read somewhere coby tablet will not support this. What I have done is I have turned my cell phone into a hotspot and can then use internet with my tablet anywhere my phone has coverage, which seems to be about everywhere so far.

Thank you so much! That was very helpful! Do you know if you get the same Open Office on the 4G Surf?

You could always get a USB extension. That way you can plug the internet card in and put it anywhere you want.

You cannot use internet on the go with this TouchBook because it is not capable to use a SIM card, this tablet works with WI-FI only.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isAmazonFulfilled;=&isCBA;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&seller;=AYSI9CNL93O4X

I think you might be referring to a card that would allow your computer to connect online through a cellphone network. It is a more elegant soloution than a clunky USB "dongle" that many cellphone companies use, but the very best soloution for portable surfing is in the newest cellphones that allow "tethering" wirelessly. That often is much less expensive in per-month charges than either the dongles or a built-in card.

No you do not need to configure this device. It will work as a plug and play wifi. My initial use was at home since I wanted to make certain it would work with a tablet. I plugged this device into my home router as a 2nd wifi device to test. I had to slide the switch on the side from the default setting and I was able to connect my tablet without any other changes.

You can move files to and from the tablet or use it as extra storage. Put personal data that you need on the use and not on the table for better security. Ps get a file explorer app. It works great

In theory yes, but it probably wont work. For those with Dell V8Ps, it isn't working because your power brick isn't supplying sufficient power. Try doing it with the power brick from a Surface 3, that worked for me, also try using a shorter or larger gauge cable. It is my understanding that most Android flagships have the hardware to charge and use host mode concurrently, but some require rooting, see the answers to other questions for more details.

Yes, you can download the app in you phone, but to configure it you must have a computer.

Yeah. It uses SMB to access files and Web to config the device. The software that comes with the device is very much useless. I use my phone and iPad for most of the tasks.

It's an Android™ tablet with the Google play store. So yes. The standard browser is extremely slow so I recommend downloading "Dolphin" browser. That is amazingly fast

No. It is just a key pad with a few buttons to adjust sound etc., It is a great cover key pad combination but it doesn't turn the tablet into a laptop.

Its exactly the same as a laptop in a mini version, just using android 4.1 instead of windows. You can download/upload./wifi/connect via usb, if what you ask works in that way.. then yes.

Yes you can! Just make sure u have the app downloaded on the tablet with a active acct.

I get a couple of hours of messing around with surfing, email, etc....not very demanding stuff. I'm never far from an outlet tho, since this is not the sort of tablet you will take camping or something. It comes with a cord so you can plug it in while using it as a tablet; it does not have to be on the dock to charge. I've had it since the summer, and still love it.

Yes you can, but not easily with the "magic wand" type remote control. If you intend to use it for surfing, you will want to upgrade to the new LG Magic Remote qwerty or similar device.
