Want to get a small (probably android) device for my kid which will play music, games, etc but not for calls. Or is a phone without a sim card just as good?

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

I-pod fits that description. Make sure he/she leaves it downstairs at bedtime!

tesco (others are available) android tablet

An iPod Touch, or any other small Tablet will do.

Have a look at this: http://www.ebuyer.com/670780-wikipad-wp005-tablet-pc-wp005

Yes a phone without a simcard will also do, but will most likely have a small, low resulution screen for games.

Ziggy from Quantum Leap.

Pick up a second-hand iphone 4/4s/5, or get an iPod Touch, leave the SIM out of the phone.
Using an old phone gives you GPS tracking via Find My iPhone, although accuracy will be compromised a bit because it can’t use cell-tower triangulation to improve accuracy.
Certainly an old 4/4s is a really good, tough phone, put a screen protector on it and it’ll take a lot of punishment, because the frame is steel, not ally.

Huawei Ascend Y330, 4 inch screen, runs apps, photos, video, games etc. Just dont put a sim in, wifi will work fine. £50, my 12 year old is happy with his. He barely used his ipod.

a 3gs would do fine as well. I have a couple for sale if you’re interested (£30?)

Brilliant, thanks will look into those.
Sharkbait, very interested please send any info or pictures.

iTouch.

iPad

Or an android copy of those.

Argh, keep double posting.

STS: I’ll email you re the 3GS

Hi Sharkbait, I haven’t received an e-mail yet. Thanks.

You can get a small tablet – storage options scroll pocket 4.3″ tablet.

Thanks, hadn’t noticed/seen any 4″ tablets around before. Could be ideal.
