Re: Wifi and the galaxy tab
You could set up your smartphone as a wifi hotspot, and pair with that.

Re: Wifi and the galaxy tab
I think the MiFi on Three is the best out there. They have by far the best 3G coverage and speeds now.
I sometimes use the MiFi and its great.

Good advice on the cheap. I use Joikuspot on my N5800 to my laptop when out of the house. It's free unless you shed about £10 when you get WEP which for a quick browse is fine. Helps if you are on a good data tariff. I am on Virgin and have a pretty good deal with data.
