[QUOTE="Ctrl-Opt-Del, post: 1595838, member: 215112"] I'm not really sure why you think Android is such a horrible place to start... Unless you bought her a really cheap piece of junk, or some heavily-skinned monstrosity like a Samsung Galaxy Tab or Note series... You could've gotten her a Google Nexus 7 & I'm sure she would've been fine, or spend as much as you would on an iPad & get her a Nexus 10... Don't get me wrong, I'm not an Android fanboy, & I'm not trying to actively discourage you from getting your mother an iPad; but if she's had a problem using Android I think the blame more likely rests with poor quality hardware and/or glitchy bloatware, not the OS itself... I only suggest maybe try getting her a better Android tablet vs. an iPad, as if you've already taught her how to use Android now, switching to iOS would probably just be even more confusing for her as she'll be having to change preconceptions, rather than going into it cold... Either way, good luck. [/QUOTE]
