LC mentioned the other day that she had been considering the possibility of us getting Funsize a tablet for Christmas. She had had access to one for quite some time, as we gave out ancient Hudl tablet a bit of a reprieve, but that has now reached the point of being actually done for, not merely obsolete, so it was time to consider something else.
Funnily enough, I had been considering much the same thing from a slightly different angle - my intention for my bonuses this year, had they been worth anything, had been to replace all out IT stuff - PCs for me and LC, a new phone for at least one of us, a NAS for use as a media server, and a tablet for family use. As it happened, it was all a moot point...
Anyway, having looked at the options, it appears that the dedicated 'kids' tablets are no longer the way to go - the likes of the Leappad have gone more or less the way of the Hudl in that they haven't had an update in some time. That left us with a choice of inexpensive normal tablets, which have the distinct advantage of being less limited - so we could potentially make use of them for reading, surfing, or whatever else. And some of these are aimed at that kids niche, simply by virtue of being fitted with a robust cover and a kids' profile.
So that seems to have worked out well. Though we'll need to see where we go from here.
