Kindle Fire or HTC Flyer

[2K2 LS1]

Need help deciding which would be best for our 7yo daughter. She absolutely loves her mom's Ipad; but I can't justify spending that much! She would be mostly using it for the sim city type games and the lil pet games as well as reading kids books and going to the read along website. I would like it to be able to go to the app market or at least be able to upload apps if added through amazon. Anyone own either and PRO's and CON's to share on either? They are price in the same ballpark $199-249. So taking price out of it; which is a better tablet/e-reader?

I just got my wife an Acer Iconia A100 It's a 7" tab, 8gigs on board w/msd provisions, 1ghz tegra2 dual core and 1gig of ram. It's a slick lil tab for 250.

So, last night her letter to Santa she wrote Ipad2, I was like um honey you need to give Santa a cheaper option too just in case. So, she scratched it out and wrote a tablet and all the pics of toys mommy took at wal-mart. She cracks me up!

Make it happen Brad! And I don't wanna shop for it, way too technical and too many to choose from. If I had it my way I would just go get her an Ipad, our princess deserves it!

The Nook Color, Kindle Fire, or HTC View. The View is a better option but if its for your kid, Fire..

If you want your child to have access to the Android Market, stay away from the nook and fire.

Unless I read this wrong they can still access it but only with a password right?

[Tx Redneck]

If you can't root, you can't get Android Market.

The password blocks wifi and access to the Amazon Market. It's similar to Android Market but not as robust.

I got my girlfriend one as well. I think it would be good to get since she'll be able to read books, magazines, and play games on it. I know you can do that with any tablet, but that's pretty much what the Kindle is meant to do.
