Default Is 3G inherent to all tablets?

In other words if you have a wi-fi only tablet is the hardware still in the tablet for 3g ,but lies dormant, or was it never installed ? Just curious because this could be real fun to tap into!

Hi,

No WiFi version doesn't have the 3G hardware built in. There's a hack with the custom ROMs to plug a 3G USB receiver though.

if you took more time to search on the forum you will find some picture of the tablet and will discover that all your answer was there.....
