Mom, if you are staying at home with it, don't get the 3G version... you have one of those already. Get the WIFI only version and just use it with your home WIFI. No monthly cost at all.
A stay at home mom doesn’t mean that I am actually at home. Most of the time is spent shuttling kids to/fro. I spend most of my days in the car, and that’s why I want one.
At home, I can get on the regular computer and use the nice large screen and keyboard.
