Is it possible to use an iPhone using "Personal Hotspot" to connect the Bauhn tablet to the Internet where there is no Wi-Fi coverage?
Thanks

If the iphone broadcasts a native wifi hot spot instead of a adhoc network then it should work no problem.

Just set the iPhone to tether mode, whatever it's equivalent is in Apple. The tablet connects via wifi as if the phone is a pocket wifi modem. I have my Samsung Android mobile set up with a widget that I can turn on tethering in one press. Either wifi or USB. Works really well, I tether my tablet, other phones or laptop etc, anything with wifi or USB.
The USB tether is good as the phone is charging whilst acting as modem/router.

but as far as I know the iPhone (like my Nokia) makes an AdHoc wifihotspot the answer is "not easily" (and thanks Android for that one)
