Grand daughter is 7 in June ... her mates have Ipads and that's what she would like ... any thoughts ?

 

PS she uses my Imac and Dad's Windows machine (and PCs at school I think)

Get her an iPad.... your minted

[helimeddaz]

Ipad. That's what Grandads are for.

If that's what she wants and all her friends use, then get her that. Our friends 7 year old daughter just got one. And she facetimes her friends, has an apple account and emails people etc. If she'd been on a different platform she'd be out of friends loop. Sad I know, but that's the current times for you.

Maybe get her an ipad2 instead of the more expensive 4

Love my ipad3 fantastic bit of kit. The wife has a kindle fire and it's cack. By the ipad.

No informed advice from me as I just accept whatever I am given in the way of technology by Mr twobears, and it always seems to be an Apple product. I didn't want an iPad but he got me one anyway and I wouldn't be without it now as it is so useful, versatile and portable. I am sure that your granddaughter would love an iPad too. She is a good age to gain a lot of value from using it I am sure. I saw a very young baby playing with an iPad on the flight to Florida recently and he seemed to be enjoying himself

 

I can also vouch for iPads for the older user too. My mother (early 70s) bought one a few months ago and she is a fiend on it now. I sometimes wonder if a thought ever goes through her head that she doesn't feel the need to communicate to me via e mail? We have been known to reach double figures and I feel nostalgic for the days when she would just pick up the 'phone and call me once or twice per day max ...

IPad mini + a nice pink bumper case

[twobears]

My iPad has a pink case. Pink cases are definitely the best sort to get It's not as good as my iPhone though which has a panda case. I am a very sophisticated woman, can't you tell?

My mates neice has been bought an iPad mini for her birthday on Thursday. She's 3 for God's sake. What's wrong with one of those leapfrog tablets for her first one? 7 is different I suppose as mentioned before if they can use it properly with friends etc

[Devilz101]

Has to be an iPad unfortunately. Get the previous model

[Stutopia]

If you go for a case, I can recommend tech21. They can take knocks very well and do one in pink.

I do have a vested interest, a mate of mine works there, but it's good stuff, saved my iphone a few times. There's also a cool video of the secret goop they put inside the case.

I've bought her a 16GB Ipad 4 and a lovely pink case today

 

Thanks for the advice everyone

Lucky girl! Great Grandad! Think the best thing i got of my old grandad was a hard boot up the arse! Lol.

[Yampiedog]

Get the previous retina model if they have any left as i think they only come as refurbs now.
