When Apple brought out the iPad they revolutionized the tablet industry and they have done it again with The iPad Mini. It retains all the advantages of the iPad- its great catalog of apps, ease of use, and Apple style, but does it in a smaller, lighter, easier to carry package. It is a great choice for children, as it’s size and weight make it easier for them to handle, but many adults prefer it too. It’s really nice having all the capability of an iPad but being able to slip in into your handbag (purse) and bring it anywhere. This prize package, valued at almost $400, includes:
- A new Apple iPad mini 16GB WiFi;
- A Cygnett Enigma iPad Mini case;
Introducing our sponsors:
ABITALK APPS is based in San Jose, California and was founded by Emmy Chen, a mom of two. Abitalk now have over 100 apps available in iTunes, and they will soon be coming to Android too. Many of AbiTalk’s apps have lite versions as well. At the time of AbiTalk App’s inception, Emmy was teaching her youngest son phonics and reading, and she discovered that the iPad was the best tool for helping kids to learn to read. AbiTalk’s educational and fun apps really helped Emmy’s son a lot and Emmy found that developing apps for her son was something she really enjoyed doing, and was good at. Abitalk’s extensive library of apps includes: Sentence Builder App : A great app to learn sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary with your own pictures, voice, and sentences. Phonics Word Family: Including 55 different word families a great word family app for preschool, kindergarten, first grade and second grade students.
