My mum (aged 75) has decided that she wants to march on into the 21st century and buy an ipad or tablet!! 
She barely uses the internet and is a complete novice (as the subject matter says).
She wants it mainly to send emails and to store photos (which she would probably have to download from facebook or twitter - or I'd do it for her).
She doesn't want anything too big - just something she can carry around in her handbag and really wouldn't need it to be connected to 3G or 4G as she would most likely use it at home with her wi-fi - although she needs to be able to show pictures to her friends when she is out and about.
I was thinking about a Google Nexus 7 - but wondered if anybody could recommend anything in particular.
