My mom was originally looking to get a webcam so she could skype with me to see her grandson a little more often. I suggested about a tablet instead so she could do it from anywhere she could find a wifi connection, and also use it for other things.
so, I think she's convinced and now i'm looking for something with the following req's.
so, that's about it. any suggestions?
thanks.
so, I think she's convinced and now i'm looking for something with the following req's.
- 10" highly preferred; would maybe consider 7", but I need her to get one in her hand to ensure she would like the 7"
- Cheap as possible (under 250-300ish), but must be a quality tablet; not going to get her some chinese ripoff tablet that breaks or has all sorts of problems
- since skype was the primary objective, must have front camera and be of decent enough quality for my son to be able to see what he's looking at
- obviously must be able to handle processing skype and have wifi (3g/4g not required, and probably not wanted due to extra cost)
- should have pretty good battery life, but isn't the most pressing requirement
- she'll probably also use it for web browsing, email, reading books, etc. very basic usage
- shouldn't need much storage, but ability to add external (CF) storage a plus
so, that's about it. any suggestions?
thanks.
