We can compile a list for you if you like...
It's just something different and so often, it takes a bit of getting used to something. We'll start on that list for you and your Sweetie!

1. Weather alert app....$9.99 She can check the weather in locations she picks and be alerted to watches or warnings from the National Weather Service.
(I have this app on my Iphone and Ipod to check on things at our rental property as well as weather for my family in various locations.)

2. ANGRY BIRDS.... Ah, it speaks for itself....addicting and fun,

3. Book reading through a number of providers....Amazon, B&N, IBooks, Google, various libraries.

4. Taking pictures...and once she takes them, she can e-mail them to friends and family.

5. Skype...and FACETIME...

6. Games, crossword puzzles, search the web.

7. Shopping online....

8. Learning how to do something she wants to learn...bridge, canasta, etc.

9. If you have Netflix, she can watch movies.

10. Others can add to the list now...
