If you ever wished you could have Google's Project Fi wireless service on your tablet as well as your Nexus phone, well now you can. Google announced today that Project Fi now has support for data-only devices on top of its existing phone service. Even if you have a primary Project Fi SIM card, you can request an order for a data-only SIM that you can use with a compatible tablet -- it should work with any unlocked tablet that also works with T-Mobile. Confirmed compatible tablets include the Nexus 7, the Nexus 9, the iPad Air 2, the iPad mini 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S.

As with its phone plans, it'll only be $10 per GB and the cost of any unused data will be refunded to you at the end of the month. We should note here that this service is only for existing Project Fi subscribers. According to a Google spokesperson: "Data-only support is an extension of the overall Project Fi experience. It's for people who like having the service and want to extend connectivity to more device options."
