Well, `not wanting to force subscriptions' is actually the right answer
if it would have been an `either/or' choice.
More probably, it's because it's just not viable to include it in a
device that size at that price-range--there have been in-depths
discussions about this as it pertained to the FreeRunner, previously;
they're probably still applicable.
As far as the full-sized tablet goes, you could look into getting a
UMTS/HSDPA/whatever USB stick to connect to one of those internal USB ports.
I've seen ones that may be small enough for as low as 50ドル US, though
it's not obvious how well they'd work from inside the tablet.
