I also had the pleasure of doing a video interview at the Aging2.0 AgeTech Expo in San Francisco that is attached to this posting. This is one of the better Elder tablets I have reviewed. I would give this a 4.5 out of 5 on my buy rating. The only issue I see is 7 inch tablets seem to be the standard right now but I think 8-9 inches is better for anyone with vision problems even if the buttons on screen are large. Also would like to see the option of some other wireless carrier than Verizon, maybe T-Mobile option, that way it will cover both <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_division_multiple_access" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CDMA(code division multiple access)</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">GSM(global system for mobile communications)</a> signal. I do like that it does not require you to have Internet and is always on. Pricing for custom built 7-inch tablet and membership is $60/month with NO long-term commitment needed, month-to-month, satisfaction guaranteed and shipping and handling fee may apply. They also are doing possible partnering with <a href="https://www.revolverobotics.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Revolve Robotics</a> and their remote controlled stand. They are also having a Holiday Special Limited Sale buy the first month and get the third month free plus receive a FREE tablet cover, digital eCard and shipping. or get 1 year for $599 - SAVE $120. If you want to stay independent longer and stay connected to friends and family maybe even caregivers. This is a great option. Check them out!
