    A mate got two of these the other day for his kids. Its a nice piece of kit with a large 64gb storage capacity but I would be careful giving it to a child as it would appear to be quite susceptable to damage if not properly looked after.

    The above link to a review does mention a week battery and lack of apps compared to an Android based Tablet.

    I'm also buying a Tablet but its for a 14 year old and in his case I'm going with the 32gb Google Nexus 7 which is flying off the shelves at €239

    Best of luck in your decision.
