iPad2 Question

[Keith W]

Is it possible to attach and use a broadband dongle on an iPad2?

Nope, you can tether to a 3G phone though if that helps

 

[Keith W]

When is a dongle not a dongle

When its a cheap 3G phone (That allows tethering of course)

I asked that in my opening question.

MiFi is just a type of dongle

 

[DemiLion]

Not really. A dongle has to be physically plugged in to a computer/tablet. Tethering or using a wireless router is completely different - although the end result is the same; ie Internet access.

Just need to find a good, unlocked and cheap MiFi thingy-ma-bob now

not really, a dongle suggests physical connection. a mifi is a wireless hotspot and works in the same way as tethering essentially.
