kids tablet help - which one to buy?
I want a tablet for my kids. I want to spend the least amount of money possible.
It needs to have the following features:
1. Access to a good range of cheap/free games/apps
Apps and games to entertain and educate a 4 yr old that are either free or super cheap. I have seen tablets that seem pretty good (ie innotab or leapad, but it seems I'd need to pretty much always buy games for it and the games are like 15 quid each. Fuck that for a 4 yr old! I'm thinking android phone apps cheap. Like lots of free apps or apps for a couple of quid max.
2. Sturdy build to survive a battering by a kid
No point in having something that will break if they drop it.
3. Screen big enough to watch movies on
I've seen some ok seeming ones but with 5 inch screens. If I secure that to the back of the head rest in my car the kids are gonna struggle to watch it behind me, well certainly the kid that's not directly behind me, so ideally a 7 inch screen minimum although if anyone thinks 5 inches will do the job then I could be convinced.
4. Not run on AA batteries.
I want an internal rechargeable battery like a standard laptop. Battery life is also important as I'm thinking of flights/long drives etc
5. 8 gig Memory minimum
I don't care if it has a 2 gig memory or an 8 gig memory, as long as I can just buy a memory card for it, but then that needs to be taken into account for the price, as I need at least 8 gig of memory for putting movies on it.
6. Overall cost is important
ie including having to buy usb cable, chargers, a stylus, memory cards if required. I understand that some come with these things and others don't so if I need any of these items and they don't come with it then this needs to be included in the price.
Anyone know anything about these and can give me some advice? Or alternatively if you can direct me to a website that will answer all these questions for me and show a comparison. I can see lots of feature comparison sites but not a overall cost including apps/games comparison.
