So... My family cant afford 379.00

*goes back to his 1k laptop...*

Reason we cant afford it is that we buy REAL systems *giggle*

Is it more durable? If I'm gonna let me kids play with a $379 tablet it better have some extra durability built in.

My daughter (3 y/o) has been using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 since May. Still in great shape w/ the exceptions of two small scratches on the screen. Unfortunately I can't attribute those to my daughter as they were the result of a friend using it, and letting it slip out of their hand onto a metal wrist watch strap and putting two small scratches on the screen. Aside from that I love the idea of Zoodles pre-installed. My daughter loves it, does drawings, watches videos. Then I get a weekly report card showing all the pictures she drew. Not to mention she has managed to learn her ABCs on the tablet.

Much more reasonable & less likely to get damaged IMO than a laptop w/ touch pad..
