My 7 1/2 year old has got a tabet from her grandparents for Christmas. They got her this one:

It isn't an Ipad or a Samsung but for her it does Moshi, it does candy island, tapfish, word hero etc so she is happy with it. I have a Playbook and whilst I think my screen is slightly better colour and resolution than hers I am jealous at the number of Apps she can get compared to me! We decided early that a children's tablet was a waste of money but didn't want to pay the Ipad or Samsung prices. She loves it.
