The selling point of the iOS products isn't their technological prowess but rather their ease-of-use (although Android products have improved quite a bit in that regard). My youngest brother loves his Android phone/Kindle Fire combo and while the Fire is the only semi-Android device I've operated, it seems easy to use as well.

Basically, as long as it's easy to use and doesn't cost too much then that's what they'll go for, if they do get one.

Thanks for this thought, though. :)

Apple provides the absolute best overall experience for tablets. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:42:59 PM 637 Views
Why not Kindle Fire? Cheapest by far. *NM* Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:42:19 PM 290 Views
Because you're then locked into the Amazon ecosystem. Nebhead - 28/09/2012 10:36:28 AM 586 Views
As opposed to the Apple cult? Apple doesn't have anything comparable to Amazon Prime. Aeryn - 28/09/2012 02:01:34 PM 591 Views
Amazon Prime is mainly a US based service Mark - 28/09/2012 04:43:15 PM 709 Views
If they're based outside of US, that would be relevant to mention in the post. Aeryn - 29/09/2012 02:05:32 AM 677 Views
Just get the Amazon Prime app for the iPad, then. And the Kindle app. Tom - 28/09/2012 05:38:09 PM 633 Views
I would also advise again iPad Aeryn - 27/09/2012 06:44:09 PM 601 Views
