Every device that I’ve looked at from the original Galaxy Tab to the PlayBook and the TouchPad all either couldn’t perform or had serious issues trying to work with Netflix and Hulu:

YouTube? Be my guest, but cute kitten videos just don’t interest me. I’m curious Kevin, if the iPad mini and Nexus 7 show improvement over past tablet failures.

As it is most traffic is forced to wifi because of the pricing.For quite a few more years demand will only depend on pricing,there are plenty of ways to use huge amounts of data if it is cheap enough.Data caps (mobile and non-mobile) are a terrible thing for the future of the internet so we better hope that Google,Amazon, Apple or some other players decide to take the matter into their own hands,that is of course, if regulators don’t start doing their jobs sometime soon.
