HP Touchpads are being phased out - 2 weeks ago they blew through about 400,000 at 99 & 140 each. There may be a few more next month at the same proce then they will be gone.
Have heard the Galaxy Tab is nice but unless yo luck into a $99 Touchpad,get an iPad. They are great if you want a big / capable Ipod
.
Unless you actually need to work - then a laptop still fits the bill.
All of the above should work with the WiFi in your house - assuming you do. If you don't, any 13 year old relative that you tryst can set it up for you

I see the HP touchpads are reasonably priced at about $300.
ipads seems to be upwards of $700. What's the $400 difference?
Capability wise they seem to be the same 16 or 32.
Basically she uses the computer for MyFace, searching the internet, shopping, checking email and picture storage. I figured a Touchpad type doohicky would suffice. She won't be doing any gaming, creating spreadsheets or using any software that requires a large amount of Memory or storage.....put it that way.
Laptops are pricey but if someone can convince me they are a better bang for my buck, I'll consider this avenue as well.
Also...I'm confused about wiFi....do I call Comcast and have them set me up (I imagine so). What will that cost?
Will a touchpad work though wifi or are these used via cell phone signals, etc, etc....I'm clueless. In other words, do I have to buy through AT&T and have that cost added to my cell bill?
