Actually it's important to check that their online banking is compatible with an iPad or Android Mark Send a noteboard - 28/09/2012 10:07:45 AM
Some online banking systems (those that tend to install a piece of software on your machine for security) can have difficulties with the iPad. This is becoming rarer and rarer as most banks are paranoid about iPad users not being able to access their online banking. A quick search of some popular NZ boards will tell you if anyone is having any problems.

It's quite possible that your parents bank will already have an app for their online banking. It's worthwhile checking out if that is the case and looking at any reviews of such apps.

The Asus Nexus 7 16gb should be avaliable in the UK for about £199 Roland00 - 27/09/2012 03:01:17 PM 488 Views
Apple provides the absolute best overall experience for tablets. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:42:59 PM 532 Views
Why not Kindle Fire? Cheapest by far. *NM* Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:42:19 PM 249 Views
Because you're then locked into the Amazon ecosystem. Nebhead - 28/09/2012 10:36:28 AM 487 Views
As opposed to the Apple cult? Apple doesn't have anything comparable to Amazon Prime. Aeryn - 28/09/2012 02:01:34 PM 486 Views
Amazon Prime is mainly a US based service Mark - 28/09/2012 04:43:15 PM 528 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 572 Views
Just get the Amazon Prime app for the iPad, then. And the Kindle app. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:38:09 PM 524 Views
I would also advise again iPad Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:44:09 PM 491 Views
