WIFI is the way a tablet connects to the internet and other wireless devices that support WIFI.
A tablet is a smaller all in one touch screen computer. Keyboards can be attached to them if you don't want to use the touch screen.
The Ipad is a tablet computer made by Apple Computer and runs only Apple software. All tablets can connect to the internet and other wireless products either using WIFI, 3G or 4G. Other manufactures make tablets as well. Microsoft, Samsung, Asus, LG, Sony and many others have a tablet on the market and run either Android or Windows software. A few run both Android and Windows software. In the very near future, Windows tablets might be able to run both Apple and Android software.
WIFI and 3G and 4G are not the same thing though. They both allow you to connect to the internet, however with 3G and 4G connections, one can connect to the internet anywhere one can make a cell phone call. With WIFI, you can only interact with the internet and other wireless devices as long as you are connected to that WIFI signal.
An example of this could be this, let's say you are at Jeff's place and connected to Jeff's WIFI signal but you want to go to Starbucks and grab a Venti Mochafrappachino. Once you leave Jeff's place, you will no longer be connected to the the internet. You would have to reconnect to the internet once you hit Starbucks by using their WIFI information.
Is this make any sense?
