Is the ipad mini good for kids?

Is the ipad mini good for an 8 year old?

In addition to Diavonex' points, iPads have this amazing feature called "Guided Access" to keep a youngster's attention focused on a particular task.

  • What is the best way to make an IPad mini safe for kids?

    I am looking to purchase an IPad Mini for my son who is 9years old. I am hoping to find out what settings or software I can employ to help make the internet safer for him. He would like to search his ideas and projects but i am concerned about what inappropriate things he may stumble upon. Any help?

    There are some restrictions you can make. Settings>General>Restrictions.
    See also the manual:
    https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    But, realistically, if you give your child access to the internet, they will, eventually stumble upon something you might find inappropriate. As with any tool that could potentially be dangerous but that you want your child to learn how to use, proper supervision is key.
    Best of luck.

  • Is The iPad 2 good for Wordpress

    I have a little site that sells Slim Fit Shirts and it is on wordpress and Im currently on the move a lot and Im wondering whether the iPad 2 will be good for me if I need to edit or change anything on my site if im on the move anywhere?

    That actually looks like something that would be quite useful. Thanks King Penguin. You won't believe the trouble i've been having the past few months. Having to move things from place to place and move other things around. I have hard enough time to manage my Slim fit shirts site, been an absolute nightmare so I need something that I can use on the go

  • Im looking for the best stylus available for the ipad mini retina. for creative design

    I am a designer and would like pressure sensitivity if available. I have seen the pogo connect which looks great but does it support the mini retina yet? Or the best alternative? I will be using paper and Adobe ideas. THANKS!

    I agree with Miklos - the 53 is nice at first, but is awkward and heavy. It has a huge rubber tip and is stiky on the screen. I like the amPen Hybrid Stylus on Amazon. They are under 8$ and are a great quality stylus that actually works! They have the fiber mesh tips that can be changed out when you want a fresh tip. They also come in a variety of colors. Was able to get a stylish black on for myself and a pink one for my wife and daughter. We also got a 5 pack of the tips they sell so we ould have extras when we need them. The stylus tip is the best part though. It is soft and glides nicely on the screen. It is not stiky and clingy like the rubber tipped stylus pens you see these days. Link incuded. They even have free shipping! Can't beat that for under 10$

  • Will the Tech21 Impact Mesh for iPad mini fit on the ipad mini retina

    I am wondering because I am thinking of buying a new ipad mini retina but the case I like the most is only the original ipad mini. So will the small thickness increase make it not useable.
    I know about the microphone issue on the retina ( there is also one one the back where as there was not one on the back of the ipad mini original.

    For sure? No. Seeing as how no one has seen a new mini in person. However checking the specs there is a .3 millimeter size difference, there shouldn't be a huge issue.

    Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one, unless you just bought the iPad 2 in the past 14 days.

  • Any best practices for the iPad mini????

    I am in the beginning stages of designing my mag for the iPad.... now the iPad mini seems to be all the hype and the latest news states that the mini may out sell the larger one.
    So... I know that the dimensions are 1x1 on bumping down to the smaller screen... but what about font sizes? what about the experience? Anyone already ahead of the game?
    I have my own answers to these questions, but any one out there have some best practice advice or links to some articles they find informative...

    I think 18-pt body text is fine for the iPad 2 but too small for the iPad mini. Obviously, it depends on your design and which font you're using, but it seems like a good idea to bump up the font size a couple points to account for the smaller screen.
    For the same reason, be careful with small buttons and small tap areas.
    I've also noticed that for whatever reason, MSOs and scrollable frames in PNG/JPG articles look great on the iPad 2 but look slightly more pixelated on the iPad Mini. It might just be my imagination.
    Make sure that you test your design on the Mini.

  • How long does it take for the iPad Mini to process?

    I ordered it on thursday along with headphones and the headphones already processed and shipped but the iPad mini is still processing and I was wondering how long will it take for it to process because it still hasn't billed me yet for it.

    The Apple Sptre website says iPad minis in any configuration will be available to ship in two weeks. That's usually a good estimate. The other items were available now and in stock so they shipped. The iPad mini is still in short supply and will most likely ship in two weeks as the website says.

  • I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.
