[Q] A100 a good choice for 3 year olds?

Hi, I'm considering purchasing an A100 as a developmental tool for my twin 3 year olds. I would probably put a bunch of kids stuff on it and run it inside the Kids Mode app.
Would you say the A100 is a good choice for this purpose? Is there a better choice?

I think it is. I let my 3 year old daughter play fruit ninja and anger birds all the time. Its the perfect size to sit in her lap while shes on the couch.

How sturdy is the A100?

IMO a100 is good but may be overkill. Why not just a really cheap one like a coby or an off brand. I've seen some go for less than $100 retail.

noo
i suggest not it is not worth it to give a 300 dollar honeycomb tablet that can be upgraded to ics to a 3 year old
a wasted investment

It's a pretty tough little tablet so long as its not thrown across the room. I've dropped mine quite a few times and it hasn't broken yet. The screen is gorilla glass, scratch resistant, takes some force to crack. When combining this tablet with kids, I'd say the most you have to worry about is how much you'll have to clean the screen. I work as a barber and use my a100 to keep kids occupied while I cut their hair.

Well, I would want to be able to use it as well occasionally. No Android Market either.

Cost will be $230 new or $200 used. Their current tablet is a Xoom and this will be tablet #2 so they don't have to fight over the Xoom. As someone who works in the financial industry I have to ask, do you really consider any tablet, phone or other piece of electronics an investment?

Well without a calculator you'd be doing all your financial analysis on paper... which would take so much longer. Without communication electronics you'd be running around much more wasting that precious time trying to get a very easy question answered when you could have just called up that person... or to give you more of an advantage let's say you could use snail mail via horse... since vehicles have some form electronics in them. But seriously, try to do your job, for one week, without ANY form of electronics along side someone that is using them. Also, the consumer electronics can be used as productive tools if that's what you use them for. All depends on the motivation and mentality of the user. In the right hands, a hammer can build a house... in the wrong hands it's being only used to open beers. For those who use consumer electronics for entertainment... best argument I can make for them is that it's it helps with stress management and therefore an investment on their mental well-being.
Hope that gives you something to think about. Looking forward to your response.

@ bolded.
And wouldn't you consider something going to the well being and development of your children an investment?

The a100 is a great tablet! But for a 3 year old....I think that maybe some special learning tablet like a 'leap pad' or 'leapfrog' would be better. Honestly, I dont think a 3 year old should have a tablet just yet. Their eyes are still developing....It just doesnt seem right to me.

No, it is not.

+1 my son has a vtech innotab. looks like daddies but he actually learns instead of just drawing on daddies tablet. not to mention its way more rugged and costs 79.99. way better tool for teaching your kids. hes only 18 months but answers super simple math questions and colors like a champ haha. the leappad is also great...it was my second choice.

he will probably take better care of it then most grown ppl simply cause it will never leave there hand

I dont know about going the leaf pad route. In my opinion a100 will be a cheaper choice in the long run, lot of fun educational stuff for kids for low prize even free. Leaf pad you need to buy new books and cartrige.
Im not an expert in parenting so don't need take my opinion as an advice keep it as anothr tough to think about.

I dont think a tablet is a good choice for a 3 year old kid, since they'll just use 2 or 3 apps (mostly games) it'll be a total waste of money.

Honestly. It is not a waste a money because the kid learna. My daughter has one and she learns a lot and.is very smart. And she plays outside all the time. It may be a waste of money to people who dont have money to just buy one. But if you can afford to get one for yoir kid then go for it. This tablet is the cheapest tablet for which you will get your most bang for your buck.

Whats an s3 wit bad esn worth?

Reason im asking is i met a guy today to check out a white s3 and he was straight up in his craigslist ad and said it had a bad esn. He bought it off CL and got burned. He was asking $300. The reason im considering it is bc my daughter has a galaxy player 4.0 and wants a 5.0. There $220 new. A girl in her summer camp mother offered her $160 for it plus she has $100 left from her bday. Do you think its worth it if i sell her galaxy player and giver $40 more bucks for the s3? I have a blue my gf has a white one and shes always playin on my gfs phone wants one bad lol

It all depends on what you think it's worth
To me, it would be worth zero. It's a phone and you can't activate it on Sprint, does me no good
Now perhaps you can flash it to a different carrier that won't care about the phone itself..

Your dialect and grammar sounds like it comes from someone who makes $80k a year.

And oh yea me and the guys that work for me curse each other out about 30 times a day. Dont have to sit behind a desk to make good money. So like i said i dont need yo steal a god damn thing.

Really? that's your way of helping prople that ask questions?
Bmore you don't have to explain yourself to anyone.
There are lots of ways to end up with a phone with a bad ESN.
Someone else could have lost it, got a new one with the insurance then found the old one. Stop wasting post space with unfounded accusations.

Sweet bro, who cares how much ppl make that shouldn't determine anything here on xda. And don't worry there's all kinds of uptight guys on here that have never seen a vagina in real life before. An ways, glad you got her one because 300 is a rip off with a bad ESN, I would have offered him 100 and sold it for parts.

Well, i am screwed!
I picked up an S3 from CL today, called sprint from there and confirmed that ESN is clean. came home and begun the activation process only to learn that although the ESN is clean, the phone is locked to the other account. suffice to say the phone has been wiped and no information on it to connect to previous owner. i did the ##786# to retrieve the phone number, called the owner and said i have your phone, only to learn that the phone was stolen. i asked DO YOU WANT IT? upon their response i said, i live about 1 hr away, would you be willing to compensate me for my travel, thats when it got nasty. the lady started to threaten me by telling me she will sue, and that she will report me to the police as if i was the one who stole the phone. long story short, i drove to sprint only to find that they have nothing to do with lost/ stolen phone, they directed me to the police.
as of right now, i wasted an entire day just figuring stuff out, spent 10$ in tolls + 10$ in gas money to get the phone + one day of no work ( As a Business Analyst for Gov contractor you can imagine is a lot of money) and tonight driving to the police station to turn myself and the 'stolen' phone in!
Like i said, I AM SCREWED!!!

Point the police to the person you got it from. That's about all you can do. Get a report number from the police if you can. That way when the owner won't stop harassing you since they probably have your number, give her the report number.

That's lame that she was so hostile, you should have reminded her that you weren't informed it was stolen and you could easily just smash it on the ground if she preferred. Dunno why people have to be so nasty when it looks you did all the right things. Hope it all works out man.

Thats the idea! im heading there right now ( well in a few minutes) and return the stolen goods, so i no longer am found in possession of them, then will call/txt her say, you want your phone? u drive there and u get your phone!
Thanks for the advice.

Just wanted to take a minute to thank all the Devs and everyone that helped during my time with the Epic Touch. My company has issued me an (YUK) Iphone so I just could not justify spending the 80.00 per month keeping the Epic. I love android and hate apple so this was a tough decision but felt I had to give it a go. I did get 280.00 for the epic with Best Buys buy back program ( best 35.00 I ever spent) and may end up back with a Galaxy s 3 but for now it is Iphone only. I almost threw up typing that. Thanks again for the great fun and all the help, I still HATE APPLE.

Make the best of it and jailbreak!

As ashamed I am I have to admit that I have an iPhone as well.
And it's isued by the company as well.
But too many people in too many places have my personal phone number so it's not that easy for me to move to another number (lucky me).
So I run around with 2 phones.
And since we have a family plan it's not $80 for me but rather 20 or 30. I can take it.
Hope you will be back soon.

Sorry to see that you must leave and hope that you come back to us. I also had an iPhone for about 6 months when I changed jobs. I am pretty much just like Agat said. But luckily I was able to switch the iPhone for an S3 a few weeks ago. So all is right again Anyway good luck in your endeavors!

They had a buy back program that cost 35.00 if you use their insurance which was 9.99 per month. They will buy back the phone at a percent of the original value, not the contract value when you get ready to trade it in. The phone sells for 699.00 at Best Buy without contract so I got 280.00 to sell it back after 11 months. They have canceled this program and only allow current buy back customers to take advantage of it. I can see why they discontinued it.

I'm like why what happened... she pulls my phone from her pocket.......... the battery is out, the back is off, and the first thing i notice milliseconds after she pulls it out ( i work in the cell phone industry) the battery sticker shows water damage, was red as the devil :-[ I'm was like NO YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!! she shakes her head and i ask WHAT DID YOU DO, HOW DID YOU GET IT WET!!! she dropped it in the mother [email protected]&#*%° toilet!! i am so mad right now!!! i say it in rice all night, works fine, except camera is screwed, has water in the lens and it fc's constantly ugh.... worst weekend ever!!!!!!! then i was hung over all day Sunday ugh... should have an insurance replacement in a few days but that's $150 :-\ plus her dui... which I'm fighting of course, cuz the dumb cos never read her, her rights lmao... got any worse stories? love to see if they stack up against this one

Not to ruin your weekend but they only have to read you the rights if they plan on questioning you. If they don't, or if they don't use your statements against you then they don't need to read your rights. Hey an attorney though, .0178 is over double the limit in most states and carries jail time.

First thing, getting drunk, in general is lame. Getting totally tore up and then deciding to get in a car is stupid. ESPECIALLY at a military base.
3rd, Wirefly has the SG III for 100 bucks. Pony up the money and just replace the one your girl dropped in the head

not to add insult to injury but these are words of wisdom... getting plastered usually leads to some sort of event or series of events that like wat u described make ur life hell... avoid it in the future by limiting ur consumption... u don't remember much past the drunk stage so why make memories u can't remember?

Me and my girl go downtown baltimore to power plant alot and i always take light rail down then pay a cab ahead of time to get us around 1230.....1. id rather have both my phones all my tablets dropped in a toilet vs my gf getin a dwi.

well the police said its a federal court matter, not a state court matter which is better because federal court is less harsh. we had a ride, basically we turned on the battery to listen to the radio until our ride got there.

That's the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen...
On topic, the cops can't charge you with a DUI unless you're behind the wheel AND the key is in the ignition (regardless if the car is started or not).
Sorry about the crappy night and your phone. At least you have a replacement phone on the way.

And yeah I was typing it all on my phone that was just dropped into the toilet, i apologize for the punctuation and improper grammer lol
But anyways the worst part was probably her DUI, which I am looking up on the net to see what exactly constitutes as a DUI (Driving under the influence) the key word is driving, her door (the driver door) was still open and eveything, and we were smoking a cigarette, listening to the radio. I did read up on some controversy over the field sobriety test be admissible in court, plus you have to fail or do poorly on the fst for them to have probable cause to give you a breathilizer, which they made her take one, they didn't give her the option to refuse it, Or I woulda told her to refuse the breathalizer. So I def think I will get a lawyer cuz the few cases I read where the dui suspect got off and the charges were dropped, were very similar to what happened that night :/
thanks for all the info tho guys I appreciate it

One, they don't GIVE you an option to refuse the breathalyzer. You have to verbally refuse to submit on your own volition (same goes for allowing the cops to search your car. You have the right to refuse the search, but they don't TELL you such).
Two, I've already told you... It doesn't matter that the car door was open or that she wasn't "driving" the car. As long as the key is in the ignition (even if the car isn't started), you can and will be charged with a DUI.
Back in college, a fellow fraternity brother of mine was charged with a DUI. He'd gotten drunk at a bar and had gone to his car to sleep off the alcohol. It was very cold outside (early December), he turned on his car for heat and got in the backseat to sleep. The cops found him and charged him with DUI because of this.
It doesn't matter that he wasn't "driving" at the time. Operating or potentially operating (having the key in the ignition) of the vehicle are both under the umbrella of driving. Arguing semantics or technicalities won't help in your girlfriend's case, unfortunately.
There should be a mandatory spelling/grammar test to pass in order to have an XDA account.

I thought that only occurred in the circumstance that the subject failed the field sobriety test beforehand.

Cops discretion, they say you have to fail two of three fields tests but the cop is the judge on the side of the road.

Something seems off about that. Who's to say that cops won't pull over random people and issue DUI's to people who refuse the breathalyzer? Even if they hadn't been drinking at all?

Mad at Samsung

So 2 weeks ago, my phone seemed like it had the infamous sticky power button issue...Would restart on it's own, flashed back to stock, same thing, wouldn't boot half the time...So I sent it to Samsung...11 days later I get it back..they replaced a majority of the parts, but not the phone...A day of having it back, does the same thing again, this time it's worse... I called Samsung...another 10 days...I fought my way to get expedited, but still going to be without my phone...Needless to say I'm not so happy with them... Anyone else have an experience like this? If I didn't fight my way to a supervisor, I'd be 20 days out of a month without my phone... I'm really starting to lose my faith in Samsung...
Also, I've had to call 3 additional times because they cannot get the shipping address correct...
End rant!

That sucks! Last time I told my carrier, who obviously didn't care my out of warranty captivate was acting up, that I wanted a deal on a new phone since I had a year on my contract.....they said sorry...no deals.....so I said shove their service and contract up their dark hole. Paid the stupid cancellation fee and got a free S2 with a new carrier.
Sucked....but I had to get away from them.
Haven't had a warranty repair yet....this one is out of warranty too....so maybe on my next phone. The next Nexus is the plan. Especially if its a Motorola.

Well even with expedited service, I get my phone back next Tuesday... almost a whole month without a phone... Not real happy...

yeah, my phone is only 1 year and 3 monghs old and the usb port for charging is broken. So now I must charge my batteries with a desk top charger. These phones need to be plugged in to chargers on a daily basis. There is NO REASON WHY THEY SHOULD BUILD A PHONE THAT HAS A PIECE OF CRAP CHARGING CONNECTION. OR ANY OTHER DAILY USED MOVING PART. That is just treating your customers poorly. Thank you for listening.

im happy with samsung... they gave me an extra charger, headphones, and another usb cord when i sent in my phone to be rapired (under warranty)

Read this thread for the repair guys info I just used ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425729 ). He is awesome and cheap ( $25 ). I had to pay to ship it to him ( $5.80 usps small flat rate box which included tracking and some insurance) but he paid for the return. He even took photos of my repair for me. It only took a few days to include shipping.

Well guess what...My phone is on it's 3rd trek over to Samsung...After talking to 3 managers, and an hour long phone call...Still won't assure me a new phone... I'm pretty furious with this...I even asked them don't you think it's cheaper to replace the phone than 3 repairs, and they said they can't release that information... I honestly don't know if I'll buy another Samsung after all this... This is my Tuesday morning rant

At this point why not just buy a new phone...i mean really, ist an old phone. with all the time you wasted you could have gotten a used one off craigs list

That's what insurance is for. new phone comes on the mail before you send the old one in.
