Ds doesn't like his tablet

It is an android one yes. I've downloaded some things like that, but the better games seem to be the ones which you pay for, and I am reluctant to put my card details in incase thwy purchase add-ins. I can't find anywhere about controlling purchases.

With Google play, I am sure you can restrict purchases though a pin or password. I think you only get the option once you enter the details into Google Play.

I've already set them up as seperate accounts. Could I change them to the same one now? Thanks for your advice, it's very helpful.

You should be able to change the account. You *may* have to reset the device and go through the tablet setup from scratch. Its been a while since I have toyed around with Android though!

The device is are low powered device, not the multi core monstors (which also come with a monstor price tag!) that the higher end models have. However the slowness might be because you have a large number of apps open in the background. You can get apps like Task Killer that will allow you to close "closed" apps. When you "close" an app, they actualy continue to run but in a low powered state in the background. But with the single cored device this can make a big difference.

That's great thank you, I'll have a look at it tonight and see if I can get to grips with it.

My daughter was given a DS for her 6th birthday, and the arguments between the kids were so bad over it that my son was given one for his 3rd birthday. He loved it, but only for short periods at a time.
He's now on his 2nd DS, as his first one died from over use, and would play 24 hours a day if I let him!

no wonder you are always borassic lint (skint) buying tablets for a three and five year old. Can you imagine how much you are going to have to be forking out for presents on them by the time they are 10 if you have to "better" the presents every year.
