Not that I've done this yet but if phone & sim supports this, you can create a personal hot spot, connect your tablet to your phone, USB, then the tablet uses the phone 3G/4G connection

As to if its a gimmick I think it is as I can do all the same stuff on the phone as the iPad.
But the phone is less likely to get broken.
Just my opinion though.
A setup like Robbie wants to do would save a lot of the risk of smashed screen.
I plan on mounting a 7" tablet into my dashboard in January (in place of the radio), will take a little work to do but is possible and gives me lots of options.
It will double up as a sat nav unit / make it easier to use jobber out and about / Bluetooth music & hands free ect.
However, I will need a small amp to run the speakers and a DAC to convert the audio, depending on the tablet I may also need an FM transmitter and get enough to power it and other USB devices.
We have used iPads and Jobber to run our schedules now for around 2 years. We tried wifi ipads and 'tethering' / mobile hotspots with mifi router plugged into cigarette lighters but not reliable enough so now use 3g ipads. Batteries easily last all week even with a bit of "you-tubing" at lunch!
Works very well for us!
I have an iPhone and iPad mini. Mini gets used for most emails, and other things. Phone for calls.
I find the iPad really useful for looking things up when I'm out as its bigger.
I've dropped my phone 3 times in the last 2 weeks that's why the iPad stays at home:-)
I had a similar deal back in Janury and received a 7" tablet with more than enough data. The only issue I have really had, is that it is a bit too small to do lengthy emails and for some websites. Probably going to get a bigger one this January.
Having said that, using "Maps" as a sat nav is great as the tablet just fits in where my dash clocks are.
my girlfriends kid got a hudl 2 for xmas its faster than our ipad 2 to be honest ill probably get one bought this year for taking notes and diary as i always loose my diary or it gets drenched in the rain. Suggest getting a wireless keyboard makes it alot easier to use.
