I just thought a tablet might seem like a cool way to browse the net, he's alredy got a laptop that I could just get him a new battery for, but just thought it would make a change, he quite likes gadgets (not something you'll relate to of course as you hate them obviously )

Might just get him an iPad instead, at least I know those work well, although still have flash issues of course!
He doesnt like me spending much money on him, but I can always take it out the box and mark it then tell him it was cheap cause it was shop soiled
