There is a new model iPad being released in the next few weeks. Expect it to be lighter and faster.
This means that some version of older models are now being discounted.
FWIW I have an iPad and bought SWMBO a Nexus 7 mini pad running Android.
She is not happy with it, for instance she watches stored programs using BBC iPlayer in bed, there have been big issues with iPlayer and Android with downloads getting blocky after about half the program.
Its a known problem but the BBC are slow to resolve it. Also IOS on the iPad is just so much nicer to use than Android, she is also getting a new iPad for Christmas, the Nexus can go to the boat.
Also I've previously used a Nexus 4 phone and now have an iPhone so I have direct experience of both o/s.
It pains me to say it, but I would now only use Apple kit, it really is just so much nicer to use.
My advice buy her the highest spec iPad you can afford, anything else you will regret.
Also bendyer!
