Chapter 19
Viewing Videos and Movies on Your Tablet
Your tablet is a self-contained movie showcase. It can display high definition videos to entertain you or your kids on a car trip, or it can display rented videos while traveling on a plane. You can even use your tablet as a portable movie player that you hook up to a TV to bring your movies to your friends. In the next chapter, we’ll discuss how to create video; but in this chapter, we’ll pop some popcorn and enjoy the show.
CAUTION: Downloading and streaming movies takes a lot of bandwidth. If you pay for a limited 3G or 4G data connection, you’ll want to make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi when you watch movies, or you may end up with a nasty surprise when your bill comes.
