Finally Doro seem to have released a new product that is supposed to make using some basic tablet functions like photos, podcasts, email, even Skype easy for even the most non-techie of folks.

A big Home button means the user can always get back to the start, and configs are all hidden away. There are quite a few Youtube sales vids showing how it works but no real-life user experiences it seems.
A really key selling point is that a techie relative can go onto it remotely and set up things, e.g. alarms, podcasts, photos.
Details are very scant, e.g. what is the minimum Android tablet spec that one could run the very simple functions with?
With tablets tumbling in price, this could be quite a cheap, sub £100 solution to put an elderly non-techie relative in much better contact with their distant relatives, grandkids etc.
I'd be curious to know if anyone else has had a look at this or tried it with a relative.
