Everything must be added onto them via wi-fi. It is for this reason I have a Samsung Note tablet (version 2014) that has both a mini SD card slot (not as nice as having a full-size SD card slot like my Toshiba tablet) and a mobile SIM card as well as WI-Fi (for connectivity.) I also have a connecting cord for downloading my Fuji photos onto the tablet. This means I can use the device when I am in places where there is no wi-fi ? and those places are numerous in certain parts of the world. (The Note Tab, like my Note IV mobile, also uses a stylus, something Apple aficionados and some reviewers like to scoff at but it is a very useful device.) Having written all this I have to say I do not like manipulating photos on a tablet. It's kinda a pain compared to any computer with a mouse or pad. Using a tablet is OK for me for a few days to simply look at my shots but not for using the wizardry of any of the photo manipulation applications. PLUS, if you are taking lots of photos (like FINE + RAW) and staying on the road for a length of time you may have to remove photos to be able to put others onto the device as most do not have loads of hard drive space. So, I still travel with my MacBook Pro if I need to do any work on pics. (And, yes, the Note Tablet, too, if I am driving and not flying!)
