tablets come with wifi or 3/4G and wifi.
the 3/4G versions are mobile, working the same as the dongle and the others you will need a phone to tether to or a wifi network to connect to. Maccas have free wifi for example... and a few other places. Mostly is Aus there are not too many wifi hotspots yet.

Most only come with a cable for power.
Dongle don't fit Galaxy or ipad.
The 3/4G ones take a sim card which you should be able to transfer from dongle to device.

Telstra has a internet dongle thingy - a square shaped one and can sit up on a bench for example.
and 5 devices can run of it at one time
costs about $80 and is prepaid
I think you can just charge it and you do not have to have it connected to your device eg ipad
