No internet or PC is required for use. You just have to buy cartridges with designs on them.

Wow, that one is beyond my pay grade.... I know when I am in my house I can control it from my computer, but my computer is connected to network, which is connected to internet... don't know if the internet connection is necessary. This company was very fast at responding to my question when I first purchased it, maybe an email to them...

You do not need an alternate internet connection. Think of this as you would a monitor, keyboard and mouse that would attach to a desktop computer tower. Your phone is the computer, this is the monitor, keyboard and mouse. It is, basically, turning your computer of a phone into a laptop, instead of a handheld device. You can connect to wifi if you like, or continue using your wireless data, but everything you do using this dock is the same as just using your phone alone, except now you have a bigger screen, keyboard and mouse to do it with.

I unplugged my Internet and checked. It seemed to work fine, so I can only assume it uses the Internet for updates and maintenance from MS and to verify you are not loading the program on a different computer.

Does have to be connected by Bluetooth but i don't believe you need a internet connection for that. Also has the ability for direct connect. We took it out in the middle of a lake, worked fine.

When I go to add the software from the website..it states that I should plug in the camera, when i open the devices on the computer, I see that the webcam is there..But it is not allowing me to install it..and it doesnt just plug in and go from there so I had to go on the website they provided to download the software or something...

You need the internet to fetch the files needed to run the tablet, you only will need internet while installing or updating drivers, which is not often. You can use the tablet after installing without internet ^^

Hi Ryan,No you can't. This is not an overly intelligent device. It essentially acts as a gateway between whatever hard drive you plug into it and the net, allowing you to access your content remotely through pogoplug.com.

I'm not sure if you actually need internet access. I don't think you do. I have it connected to my network in the back of my building and I have the software installed in my workstation in my office. Whenever I open the software it connects to the clock and downloads the punches. I have to say, from the reviews I read before buying it, I wasn't very convinced it was going to work, but I'm very happy with how well it works and how easy it was to set up. I'm running windows 7 but I think it should work with XP too. I hope it helps!

You would only need internet connectivity if you want to access it away from home. You would need a local area network consisting of a router and the TCP gateway to operate it locally with your computer, tablet, or phone. They also make a handheld remote, I dont have one, so no idea how that works.

This model does not require computer to be on. Just DSL or Cable or whatever ISP device you may have need to be on.

Internet is necessary. Some apps come with it. Mine crashed about 2 weeks after I got it. I'm returning it and hopefully the next one will be fine. Happy New Year!

I, truly, DOUBT that this product will meet your needs. Fact is, since you need an active, internet connection, just to USE this product, I suggest that, if you want something you can use, on a variety of computers, try Day Minder Calendar. I have used the free, LITE, version, myself. This way, instead of paying, several times, for the same program, just to the "Free Calendar Downloads" site, such as Cnet.com, find Day Minder, and download a free copy, to each computer that you want to use it on.

Well I'm not 100% sure if you have to be connected to the Internet. I connected my phone and tablet but they both have Internet connected to them. I have not tried my laptop without Internet. Sorry, I think as long as blue tooth then you should be okay.

You must have a PC or server to utilize it. It is a 0-client, meaning there are no moving parts in this. If you have windows 7, you can install their software to use this unit or if you have enough licensing from MS you can put one in use with this using your windows server.
