[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1596158"] What's missing from this discussion is simply this: what does Mom want to DO with the iPad (or whatever else)? If she wants to video-chat with you, the iPad is probably a very good choice. If all she wants to do is read e-books and send emails, perhaps a Kindle e-reader would be a better option (maybe). If she's a hardcore gamer, perhaps an Xbox will do everything she cares about (okay, I'm kidding on this one, but hey -- moms can be cool!). It all depends on what you think she can learn to do, and what she actually has an *interest* in doing or learning to do. Because nearly all tablet classes and resources are geared towards the iPad (as its by far the dominant model of tablet), if she actually wants a tablet I'd suggest an iPad. [/QUOTE]
