Windows 8 is all set to RTM within an hours span now,and the final release is just a couple of months away along with the release of Windows 8 based tablets,ultrabooks and other devices.

Some of the prime hardware partners for the Windows 8 tablet are Dell,Acer,Samsung and Asus,HP who will release their Windows 8 tablets at the launch.Recently Asus’s Tablet 810 which is the upcoming Windows 8 tablet from the company passed through the FCC.Filed as TF810C,the tablet sports a 11.6″ display along with the NFC support,but the device seems to be a WiFi only device.This might be a move to keep the price of the tablets low and as competitive as possible to the other Wind0ws 8 tablets as well as other android based tablets and iPad.

I’m sorry but what does “Wifi only” really mean? As in, what will the user be “missing” rather than gaining with this feature?

  WiFi only is the modern world’s push to get everyone on one big-hand-holding-global-wireless-network so they can sell control to the government and they can further rule our lives and steal our tax dollars.
  
  Not to mention make it easier for teenagers to spread STDs.

  WiFi only means that it doesn’t have support to connect of the Cellular data network used by cell phones. You will need a Wifi hotspot to connect to the net.
  
  Aside: I just saw a headline indicating that Verizon lost a court case and would be required to support all manners of tethering to it’s phone. This indicates that their could be hope to use one’s cellphone data plan to connect WiFi only devices through the phone to the net when no hotspot is available.

    Wait, you can’t just use any phone (that’s capable) or any carrier to teather in USA? It would be illegal to not allow someone to use a service built into their phone in Australia! The only time they could is if you ask them not to allow it!
