That's my gut instinct. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 27/09/2012 01:33:05 PM
It's incredibly overpriced. Really, the only good thing about it is the App Store; Apple keeps a relatively tight leash on what it lets though, so you can be sure the apps are of reasonable quality and don't contain spam/spyware/etc.

I suspect the reason they thought iPad is because they've been using a friend's one on their Europe leg of the trip.

My recommendation is the Google Nexus 7. Much cheaper, but still very decently specced out with a nice screen. Also very simple to use, and Android 4.1 is lovely. The google play (app) store has improved dramatically.

How much cheaper? I know that the new iPad is £399. And do you think it would be easy to get fixed from NZ if needed?
