My almost-7-year-old is constantly asking me if he can play games on my phone and do "research" on google (he looks up history, animals, etc). Is there some sort of hand-held device I could get him to allow him to explore the internet OR play games, or both? He loves to sit there with a hand-held device and play games, explore, read, etc. I appreciate any suggestions!
The iPod touch is good for that. We went with the Kindle Fire's for our kids...basically a very similar concept.
The iPod Touch or a Kindle Fire will do everything except be a phone!
We have the iPad and my 7 year old loves it - on that note - he destroys everything and I would never buy one for him (we got hte one we have as a gift from my company) so maybe a cheaper alternative - I second the kindlefire or something like that - price point less than $200.

Sooo nice to see you back on here again!! YOU WERE MISSED!!!
The DSi - allows internet access. Although to be honest - I don't know how much access it allows.....sorry!!!
If you want him to be able to search - then you can get him an iPad...which is expensive but he should be able to search and play games on it.
There are phones that have internet access and games as well. Don't know if you want him to have a phone....I think the iPad would be the best bet!!
If you don't want to pay the Apple network each month, there are other tablet options out there that do about the same thing, without the monthly fee. My hubby has been researching these, and he wants an ASUS 32gb with Android, but you could go to Best Buy or Radio Shack, and they could help you choose what would work best for you!
Just like a phone but a phone. Goes to Android market, goes on internet with wifi, all the same stuff just not a phone.
We are getting the kids this for Christmas.
