My parents are thinking of getting and iPad or other tablet. Any advice? Rebekah Send a noteboard - 27/09/2012 08:48:29 AM
I know nothing about these things.

What's a good tablet for slightly technologically-challenged people?

That's my gut instinct. Rebekah - 27/09/2012 01:33:05 PM 704 Views
The Asus Nexus 7 16gb should be avaliable in the UK for about £199 Roland00 - 27/09/2012 03:01:17 PM 622 Views
Apple provides the absolute best overall experience for tablets. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:42:59 PM 670 Views
Why not Kindle Fire? Cheapest by far. *NM* Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:42:19 PM 308 Views
Because you're then locked into the Amazon ecosystem. Nebhead - 28/09/2012 10:36:28 AM 623 Views
As opposed to the Apple cult? Apple doesn't have anything comparable to Amazon Prime. Aeryn - 28/09/2012 02:01:34 PM 630 Views
Amazon Prime is mainly a US based service Mark - 28/09/2012 04:43:15 PM 755 Views
If they're based outside of US, that would be relevant to mention in the post. Aeryn - 29/09/2012 02:05:32 AM 710 Views
Just get the Amazon Prime app for the iPad, then. And the Kindle app. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:38:09 PM 669 Views
I would also advise again iPad Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:44:09 PM 637 Views
Do they have a smartphone as well? Larry - 27/09/2012 02:36:43 PM 605 Views
Nope. Rebekah - 27/09/2012 04:57:41 PM 693 Views

Actually it's important to check that their online banking is compatible with an iPad or Android Mark - 28/09/2012 10:07:45 AM 804 Views
