In part two of our recent, 4th annual assistive technology holiday shopping show, our friends at Bridging Apps listed their top suggestions for anyone considering a tablet computer for someone as a holiday gift. Here is what they suggested.
Top tablet recommendations :
iPad mini: The iPad mini is very easy to use, has many apps available and includes a lot of great built-in accessibility options. Prices start at $299.
Google Nexus 7: Also lightweight and a convenient size, the Nexus 7 uses the Android operating system. Options for apps and accessibility are limited, but they are steadily increasing. Prices start at $229.
Kindle Fire HDX: A handy device that encourages purchasing items from Amazon, is an excellent e-reader and has some very good accessibility options. App selection is limited but growing. Prices start at $179.
