Ds1 is going to be 10 in a few weeks. I've to get him something techy...he is asking for an ipod touch because his friend has got one, but they are very £££ and I don't allow him unfettered internet use at present, so by the time he is free to use all its features he'll want the next big thing anyway.
So these are the things he wants to do... he really likes doing minecraft, he uses youtube within limits, to watch how other people play it - and stuff about his Wii games (skylanders etc) also he wants to use the internet for research into current interests, ie ballistics and 'how to make your own grenade' which I don't really approve of - so I want to put decent controls on it.
He kind of wants music on whatever he gets - but that's not crucial - and he enjoys games like angry birds, when he gets a chance to try stuff in shops.
I wondered about the laptop so he could use it for the foreseeable future for homework etc - but how does that work, without a printer?
I'm willing to spend around £150 or maybe a bit more, but want it to be worthwhile iyswim, not just a flash in the pan!
Any info or suggestions very gratefully received - thankyou.
