For those genuinely interested in a phablet, the Asus Fonepad is a bit of a bargain. It does the job of two devices for a budget price. However, you'll need to be prepared to make sacrifices including practicality and, in this case, no rear camera and slower performance issues.
It's tough to believe the tablet market has exploded as quickly as it has since the first iPad debuted three years ago. After all, smartphones, tablets, and laptops all fulfill similar needs, and the feature sets of these devices don't vary wildly.
My father is 82 and has early-stage dementia that affects his short-term memory. He has a difficult time remembering instructions and tasks. Too much information, whether visual or verbal, confuses him. (In addition, his eyesight is not great, nor is his touch sensitivity.)
