Heya guys,
I'm thinking about buying my 5-year old girl a new iPod Touch or iPad for her birthday.
She already uses my wife's old iPhone 3G (without SIM card) to play games and watch videos & youtubes, so its basically a de-facto iPod Touch. I was thinking the new iPod Touch would allow her to make FaceTime calls to her favorite Grandaunt & grandma, and probably record video & take photos. And she can bring it along on those long car rides when we have driving holidays to nearby countries.
On the other hand, she will be getting into Primary school soon (a.k.a grade school), and an iPad may be more appropriate for that because of lessons & homework & the whole "enabled learning" concept. An iPad could also be used for all the other purposes I mentioned except Facetime calls, photos & videos.
Opinions, guys, or does anyone think this is too much to give a 5year old girl who is going on 6, even in this day and age? I wouldn't want her to get left behind, but I don't wanna spoil her either (no too much, anyway)
