    Anyone know of a tablet that supports flash??

    Also not for tablet, but what is the quickest mobile internet I can get??

    Is there a way of getting quicker(and reliable) internet than using mobile dongles in sometimes obscure locations??

    TIA for any advice/help

    No...

    If you want reliable broadband then get real broadband like cable or DSL

    Willing to pay a decent amount for it because it is essential to me,
    any advice greatly appreciated.

    I want a silver Bentley with big tailfins...

    There's no such thing as "fast internet" in obscure locations, sorry...
    Even LTE (4G) will be hit-and-miss that's just the nature of mobile internet

    There's no such thing as fast mobile internet, (it's not really broadband) with 3G you'll be lucky to get a connection let alone fast speeds outside the main population areas, widespread 4G is a while off yet and suffers from similar technical restrictions to 3G but it's just a bit better....

    umm flash is dead and buried so most new tablets won't support it...it can be hacked up to work but is it really worth it?

    Anyway this isn't a topic for broadband try a forum more suited to the tablet you are interested in

    You can get flash to operate on the Google Nexus tablet should you wish. It doesnt require rooting. Simply and app and an alternate browser.

    I have it working on mine no issues.

    No, because Minecraft is written in Java, and uses the Java browser plugin to run on your PC.
    There isn't a Java plugin for Android. (There was one years ago, but rarely worked)
