I wanted an iPad - too expensive - so I bought a Fineslate

[joanneDD]

Has anyone else bought a Fineslate? I bought one for £70, having looked at all the tablet devices around, and was worried that it would be rubbish. It's fantastic - I can do googlemail, facebook, twitter, read the Mumsnet talk forums - everything? It's at www.fineslate.net

Trouble is - my 9 year old wants one - I'm happy to say no to an iPad, but for £70 I can feel myself weakening. Has anyone bought a tablet for their kids? Did they use it?

my dc use my android tablet. thinking of getting ds his own for xmas, but he already has an ipod touch so may be a waste.

he's 10 btw.

personally, I dont see any problems with children having these, there are some good apps for them.
