Got this for my 3 year old and she loves it! You can load tons of games, books, and videos on it. We take road trips from the bay area to southern California often and I must say this thing is a life saver! She practices writing her letters, watching her favorite videos, reading popular books, and drawing/painting pictures. Very durable; she's dropped this thing down the stair well of our parking garage numerous times and it still works like new. Word of advice though, invest in a few sets of rechargeable batteries because your kid will not want to put this thing down. We bought ours in the beginning of October(now mid-March)and my daughter still loves playing with it everyday! She has even learned to plug it into the computer herself and pick out new apps.

Gave this as a gift to my mom for Christmas. She loves the beach so I thought it'd be a fun gift. Everyone loved it. Fun watching full grow adults look at it drift through their fingers like they're on acid.
