I don’t mean to hijack the thread, and this is not totally off base, but since the FR geeks are sure to be on this thread:

Can I expect to be able to access network files with a tablet, or does it just somehow use the WiFi connection ONLY to access the Internet?

Thanks.

You mean access files on other computers in your home network? There doesn’t seem to be an obvious way to do that with the file manager on my (Android) tablet, but maybe I’m just missing something — it should be possible, but maybe the minimalist design of the table interface just doesn’t include that feature. If you need it, you might be better off with a small laptop/netbook.

Yes, there is a file management app that will see files across the network for Android, it’s something like sm file explorer, I’m not using it but I think that is what it’s called.
