Tablet for Kids. Suggestions?

[kurpal_v2]

I got my daughter an iPad Mini when it was released last year (TT$ 2400).

Up to now she can't put it down. The kids section is just so HUGE. Not to mention having Siri. She has apps from blackboards (even simulating the chalk sounds) to all the Disney apps, her favourite TV show apps, counting, drawing, memory games, driving, putting on make up / celeb mirrors, virtual cash registers (that read real bar codes). She watches YouTube, read children books and interactive books… just so many kids stuff on iOS.

Many of the apps are just not on Android or are of poorer quality. WIth iCloud, all her apps and contacts are sync'd to her iPhone. I can chat with her on Skype from the office… She also has her own mac and accounts on the other Macs in the house. All her stuff is synced across the board. Because the Mac's mouse is multi-touch, she moves between iPad, iPhone and iMac with ease.

And she's only 3 years old.

Let me discuss it home.

If she says "yes", you'll have to come out her vagina so we can pretend you are like new. Getting you in is no problem. Of her two entrances, I honestly don't know which is bigger.

Really feel sorry for kids who don't grow up with Apple products.

My niece is 10 mths old and has an ipod touch

Expensive chew toy..

A Kindle Fire HD with some kid apps. You can get them free from the amazon apstore and it has freetime where you can control the amount of time they use it. Get a case for it and you're good to go. Plus amazon's warranty is top notch.

iPad mini with Retina display.

[RapToR]

Do not buy any kindle

[pioneer]

Samsung boys will say buy a Tab

Question is, which one?

I wouldn't advise on a Kindle device as they can only run apps that are approved by Amazon. You do not get the full Android experience with the Kindle

Thanks for the suggestions, however I'm not interested in any Kindle. So either the Nexus 7 or Ipad mini or 2. Now on to prices, where can I get it for less

What does wifi only mean?

[pete]

It doesn't have space for a sim card.

Really? steups

[LovinDiva]

It doesn't have space for a sim card.

Well how much for the one that does?

[pete]

maybe about 50% more and that's if it doesn't get classed as a cell phone.

Do you need mobile internet on it? Only problem with all wifi only apple products is no GPS.

The tablet is for a CHILD.
That means APPS.

iOS has far superior and more apps designed for kids. iOS's simpler design also means younger ones can easily pick and navigate an iPad. Lots and lots and lots of games that run very smoothly.

Kids are not going to spend time playing on a lock screen or playing and looking at weather widgets. People who buy iPads spend their time in APPS.

It's an investment into a child's future. I rather spend the money and get something to develop their brains and for them to have more fun.

Ok so tell me which is the better one for my budget? I ain't looking at no investment. Hell, they all need to be replaced after a while.

Yea ALL devices need to be replaced faster and faster these days.

Apple usually supports their devices 3 years old with the latest software as soon as it is released. An iPad Mini should last you two years with all your apps up-to-date. The battery life is very long (but it also takes a long time to recharge). $2200 is a good price on Amazon and locally.

If you want Android, please please get a Google Nexus 7. It has better support and the experience is much better than the other Android tablets. It's also very snappy and feels great in your or a child's hands.

The only downside to Android (in your case) is inferior apps. The most popular ones are there and match iOS in quality and stability. In my experience, having a much larger selection of better apps for the iPad Mini means I can get apps tailored to what my daughter needs and likes. And she changes her mind every two weeks and yet there is STILL "an app for that".

Let's not forget ho unresponsive those non-apple tabs are

Good luck finding technology that never becomes obsolete.
