Im doing some research for my friend who is living in australia. The dont have very many ipads down there-- she said theyre hard to find, stores in her area dont stock them because of the price.
She is looking for another tablet comparable to ipad.
Right now she is looking at an Asus Transformer but is open to other tablets also. I have ben reading that Asus has terrible customer support.
Im trying to find her something. She is very very VERY technically challenged so it needs to be very easy to use.

It also HAS to have skype, apps to IM people, and apps to do writing on the internet (she has a popular blog she authors)

Can i get your input on the best tablets, while i am up doing my own research tonight?

TIA
