Hotspot will take care of it. Wifi hotspot, my LG Optimus V can provide that.
I found another one, and I think I may like this one better, http://www.buy.com/prod/viewsonic-vp...218018747.html
it is 3G ready. and smaller. What do you all think?

IMHO 7" has better form factor than 10" tablet, as such it can be slip into the inner pocket of my suit. Again, stock android cannot connect to ad hoc wifi, has no bluetooh-PAN profile. You need to research a bit to get it tethering to your phone. Otherwise, you'd better get the 3G version (if available) and plug your sim in it.

Most complaint about the viewpad7 is the cpu clocked at 600 MHz would be very slow. Can one overclock it?

@bun:
I wrote about the really subpar screen here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...&page=250#2500
On the next page (if your tmo view preferences are still at the default 10 posts per page), there's mention of the dock as well. It's worth getting the dock, if you plan to use it.

. But if you see the screen at different angle. The color is "out". Really "ugly". You wont be able to read or watch video.You can only see the screen at "1 angle" if not mistaken 90 degree, any other angle, you will not be able to view it.
From processor point of view -> Tegra 2, so no complaints.
The only problem is the "Screen". Thats all

I would suggest http://www.slatedroid.com/ for getting some helpful info about android tablets. I currently use a Pandigital PDN which is nice, got it for $115 and it does everything I want. Pandigital just released "Planet" tablet which seems to be getting positive response.

I have a g tablet (10") since a couple of months, running Cryanogen Mod 7.03. It replaced my faithfull N900 for casual browsing and a lot of my ever-important time-wasting activities.
On the other hand, it looks like there's no Linux installation available yet. I'd like to run Meego or Natty on it, to make it a useful tool (for mindmapping, OpenOffice, etc.) People have documented some attempts, but it doesn't seem stable...
