2 great iPad alternatives for Kids

Placed in the hands of kids, the iPad can be a valuable learning tool.You can watch ipad movies,play ipad games etc.But with its $500 price tag and likelihood of being tossed around, drooled upon, or otherwise destroyed, the iPad probably doesn’t make for the safest thing to give your budding technophile. What is a parent to do? Start by taking a look at these five alternatives to everyone’s favorite handheld babysitter.

 

Samsung Galaxy Tab

The Galaxy Tab’s spec includes a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 running the Android OS, and a variety of network access options. Social integration plays a big part for the Galaxy Tab, with plenty of options for integrating email, calendar and IM accounts. It also has Gmail access built in and MS Exchange ActiveSync. Internal storage is offered at either 16GB or 32GB, with a microSD slot capable of providing an additional 32GB of storage, potentially matching the iPad’s 64GB. It’s available for around £500.

Motorola Xoom

This offering is the first to hit the market running Android 3.0 - aka Honeycomb - which is specifically designed to run on tablet devices. The 10.1-inch touchscreen device has a dual-core processor, 32GB of storage built-in (with the option for more via an SD card slot), 1GB of RAM, 1280 x 800 resolution and a claimed battery life of 10 hours. It can cope with HD video and, like the Flyer above, has a 5MP camera on the back but with a 2MP one on the front. It is quite pricey - starting at around £500 - and the range of apps tailored to this format is not yet anywhere near as impressive as those for the iPad. But those are two minor drawbacks for what is otherwise a very good device.
