Default Tablets for Kids

Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any input on tablets!! I'm trying to google for reviews and recommendations.. I'm not having the best of luck. Chances are I'll be buying this tablet through Walmart or Best Buy as they usually have the best deals. My 9 year old daughter who usually takes METICULOUS care of her expensive electronics (by that I mean she's likely to pummel anyone who touches her DS or iPod) and keeps them up and put away, had her ipod broken (screen shattered but still works) when her younger sister dropped it outside on a stepping stone. I felt so bad because she sneaked it out of the house and instantaneously dropped it before my fiance and i could do ANYTHING... I felt sick to my stomach. I have been tossing up the idea of a tablet for about 8 months now because I know she reads on her iPod, plays games, googles things she has to study for school. I thought a tablet would enable her to look into more educational things too.

Long story short. I don't know which way to go. I'd like to stay around $80, but I understand that you get what you pay for. I've been reading reviews for HKC 7" tablet, the Visual Land 7" Prestige and also the Next book? I'm NOT sure which way I should go because they all seem to have more positive than negative comments... and I ALWAYS worry that either positive or negative comments might not even be the whole truth and nothing but the truth...

Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
