I'm a bit of a dinosaur myself. I have a mobile telphone to speak to people on and I have a PC for all my computing needs.
So I've avoided all these spart phones, tablets, ipads etc as too big and too fragile to put in a pocket, and too small to be a serious computer. Hence I know just about jack about them.
Mrs PD thinks it's time for our 6 year old daughter to have a tablet for Christmas. So what to buy her?
Here are 3 contenders that Mrs PD has found:
http://www.argos.co....ductInformation
http://www.argos.co....ductInformation
http://www.pocket-li...tablet-detailed
Or should we forget the kids versions and go for a "proper" tablet, an android for example?
What does the panel think?
And if we go for a "proper" tablet, does it have to be tied to a phone contract? Do they function (as a computer) without a phone contract? We have wi fi in the house so would want it to connect to that.
So educate this old dinosaur as to what we should be getting.
Other questions are the "apps" for these things free? or do you have to pay for anything worthwhile?
thanks
