Spring for “real” tablet -- a Google Nexus 7 or a Amazon Kindle Fire HD (both $200)... or if you can afford it, the iPad Mini ($330). These will give you the biggest bang for your buck.” “But it doesn’t have one of those colorful silicon bumpers” he said. “Don’t worry, they’re coming” I said. “Start with the apps the device can run.” Here’s a rundown on all the latest children’s tablets.
