I have a xoom 32GB LTE 4G tablet and just recently started using the 4G connection. I was amazed at the speed of this new network!. After checking my quality home network speed against the 4G one I am convinced that this new technology is here to stay!. For a cellular network I cant believe they are capable of this but it looks like someone did something right for a change!. Look at the results of my latest speed test here-. Data charges are resonable $30.00 a month as I got a nice promo when I started the service.By paying full price for my xoom there are no contracts and I pay month to month like a pre paid phone.
Fuzz buster shows the intent to speed.
A huge screen to distract you from what you should be watching out your windscreen.
There is a time to drive, and a time to be online. They do not coincide.
With all due respect for your opinion, take a look at the photo MORE closely you will see that the tablet screen shows a Navigation map. This LARGER screen is much safer for navigation use than a typical screen on a car GPS. With the larger screen your brain can assimilate the map info MUCH FASTER than having to focus on a small GPS screen and then re focus on the road. This navigation device also shows REAL TIME traffic information. All this information helps me avoid traffic jams when traveling and as such provides me a more safer alternative rout to avoid dangerous driving conditions, And a radar detector does not mean you are a speeder!. Some people own devices like this for safety and information reasons, such as the detector alerts you to a oncoming emergency vehicle such as a police car, fire truck or ambulance long before you hear them. All these devices are hands free operated. I am a class "A" CDL semi truck driver by trade and I LIVE EACH AND EVERY DAY WITH SAFTY ON MY MIND. With more than 2 million safe, accident free and ticket free miles under my belt and hundreds of hours of safety training. Driving a 80.000 pound load safely down the road is no easy task so Most would have to admit I must know something about safety when driving!. Yes, I do surf the web with this tablet every time I am parked at a gas station or rest area As far as I can tell, I wont get in a wreck or endanger others under those conditions but please correct me if I am wrong!

Agree. 4G is blazing. Have you canceled your home internet yet and just signed up the the hotspot feature? Or does the tablet not have wifi hotspot?
No, I have not canceled my home network as I use far too many GBs to use the tablet for 100% of my needs and 4G was not made to replace home internet anyway. I can and do use my Tablet on my home WYFI and it works great and does not use any of my 4G paid GBs. These tablets were designed for mobile use, They are more like a REAL BIG screen phone. But MUCH MORE POWERFULL!

You're wrong! Some can crash into your parked car. A passenger in your car could be in danger!
Since there is no actual 4G (http://www.motherboard.tv/2011/10/11/despite-what-your-new-phone-says-there-is-no-such-thing-as-4g - broken link), you're going to be waiting a while!

/I know you were being sarcastic.
ATT has true 4G LTE now, in select areas (like mine )
