Don't purchase her an iPad - not unless you live in the same house or live nearby so she can use your computer. The iPad is not a netbook or a computer replacement. The iPad is an extension of your computer. In order to restore an iPad with iTunes if wanted or needed, a compatible computer with an internet connection and iTunes is required. The same in order to install a firmware update when released.
