What makes you say that?!? the specs say Built-in WIFI IEEE802.11B/G/N

With 1GB at least you have the possibility of going to Jelly Bean. With 512KB you're pretty much locked in to ICS.

Does anyone know if it has play store ?

I am looking for a cheap tablet (this was perfect otherwise) to leave connected to my TV and stream movies and TV shows from TV Portal App. B/G only would not work that good.

Otherwise a decent little tablet for the price.

Does anyone know of a tablet with HDMI out and an Ethernet input? Even if I need a dock for the Ethernet.

You do realize that B is 11mbits, and G is 54mbits?

With that being said, do you further realize that your internet connection is likely 10mbits or less? And that streaming HD content sucks down around 6mbits?

I'm interested in an inexpensive tablet to give to my ailing father in law. He does not have (nor does he want) wifi so I need 3g or 4g connectivity. It's really just so that he can email his daughters in other cities over the next 6 mos to year. I'd also get him a data account with a cellular provider. On that point, is there any such thing as a tablet with cell phone capability? His hearing is poor so would probably want the ability to plug in a headset. Thanks.
