I'm considering getting Amanda a Tablet for Christmas but I'm not sure what to go for. Currently we both have iPhones and I have an iPad but Amanda has already decided that next year when the phone comes to getting renewed she's going to switch to getting a Samsung. Eg an S4 or whatever is the model by then. I'm thinking therefore of getting her a Samsung as I imagine it'd be better to get her a device that will work well with her phone (my iPad 2 works well in conjunction with my phone so I imagine a Samsung would work well with hers, or maybe any Android would)? Any recommendations?
Her main usage I'd expect would be internet/Facebook/Twitter, Skype video calls and using apps to watch catch up TV. She used to regularly use my iPad to watch TV shows with an app while doing her make up etc until it broke earlier this year (no longer plays sound without headphones) and now uses her Laptop to do so. She already has a Kindle for reading ebooks.
I've been thinking about the Galaxy Note or Galaxy Tab but I can't tell what the difference is or which is better. It doesn't have to be a Samsung though, any make I'm open to so long as it'd be good for her.
Any advice?
