Well Steve, honest as always.
If Emma wants one and you have the budget then let her get what she wants.
I've always done that, and I never look back with regret.
If I don't have the budget then it doesn't happen.
If I'm honest too, I only discovered the benefits and how useful our was AFTER buying it.
Let's just take something simple. Carina can do all her facebook stuff easily and quickly just about anywhere.
Even down to taking photo's and adding immediately 'on-the-fly' so to speak.
Yeah, I know, that sounds so pointless, but that make her happy.
She doesn't need to fire-up a laptop/desktop. Just open the lid on her iPad case, touch the FB icon and away she goes. When finished just close the case lid.
Same for e-mail and all other apps.
Same for CatchupTV/Iplayer/ whatever. GPS/maps/Camera/Video .................
C'mon Steve, make her happy.......it's only money and she WANTS
