I'm looking for a fairly cheap Tablet that is capable of 3G.

I would prefer one that works with a standard 3G dongle,
rather than sim tray or custom dongle.

Cheers.

You'd be better off asking this in the Tablets and eReaders forum.

Cheap tablets either run custom software or Android. If you're lucky there may be an android tablet that has drivers for some dongles but I doubt it you'll find one.

You'd be better off with a MiFi or similar rather than a dongle, then you could use any WiFi capable tablet.

Yes, you could put the SIM from your dongle into an unlocked MiFi and use it with a WiFi tablet or anything else.

Odys Loox - high quality but the sensitive resistive screen is not for games. And no HDMI.
It seems to handle most dongles though I've only used a E1440 and a E220 with it.
Amazon have used returns left tough the used one currently at £70 deld is probably the best bet.
I think amazon.de (Germany) do free delivery of the new ones though its unlikely the used ones are much more than 2 months old.

Having a 4/3 screen it feels quite big.

Thanks for the replies.

I can't say too much but I need a different IP for each dongle (I have 5 dongles in total I use), so the mi-fi thingy would be no good.
