MrHappy Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Been asked to source a kindle type of device for an old dear to take into hospital which will read books & play music ect,,, Not that I know anything on the subject , but was thinking Android ? Any of you guys got a better idea than me? Mr Veritas God
PeterJames Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I have an Android tab I can use my phone as a wifi hot spot for it and watch BBC Iplayer, check my CCTV, control my telly, control my hifi, watch a movie from a usb stick etc, its a briliant little thing so much so I purchased two more £59 ea from CPC. Im sure the bigger ones are much better the cheap one does everything I need
OliverGaskell Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Yeah as Peter said Android tab would be the way forward no price comparison with an ipad which would prob be overkill for an 'old dear' - kindle app is free and buying books is almost too easy.
petrolhead Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 You can pick up an ipad 1 dirt cheap used now and its still a good device, nice and easy to use. I bought the mrs a cheap android tablet to begin with and it wasn't that great, but she loves the ipad.
MrHappy Posted May 15, 2012 Author Posted May 15, 2012 looked on ebuyer & I reckon a 9.7" Scroll Extreme Tablet PC which has andorid 4 & good reviews will easily spank the job, £180.00 its gift which will probably come back to me so I might as well get them something I like? I'll find a case & some ear phones & get it set up. Mr Veritas God
Adi Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 will easily spank the job, this tsi not the viagra forum...... I really can't be ar**** with it anymore.
magpye Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 My Kindle also plays music and audio books. Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.
james.wilson Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 If its for reading e paper is far better than lcd etc. Also easy to use, I'd go for a base kindle securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
norman Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 As above for reflection, easy of reading etc i would also say Kindle, and when she pops her clogs you can sell it and put the money towards a tablet. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
