Give your answer to this question below!
Well it depends on what he is using it for. I guess I would say the iPad because you can actually download alot of apps so there might be an app for turntables so in a way, it’s like 2 gifts in one.
yes, I’d go with the Ipad as well. It can be used as a computer. there are also turntable apps 🙂
Ipad!
The Ipad is a great gift You should get that for him
It really depends on what he wants to use if for.
As others have mentioned there are apps for it on the iPad but the numark is very specific. If he is into music and really is looking to create something with that then it makes better sense to buy it over the iPad. Now if he is just wanting to collect more electronics then perhaps the iPad is more fun.
The iPad is more expensive. You can get them discounted and Apple is supposed to be releasing a new version within the next several months. If it were me I’d wait for all the cool updates.
Nook Color from Barnes & Noble is the hottest new gift on the market now.
iPad does not have USB port. Forget iPad, it’s so last year. Galaxy tab is too expensive. Get Nook Color which has USB port and is better for half the price of iPad from bn.com or any Barnes & Noble physical store or BestBuy or Walmart.

– Nook allows to lend books for 2 weeks to friends or to your other devices that run B&N app. Barnes & Noble allows (when you walk in with the Nook to B&N store) to read any available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi. With Nook, while in BN store you get exclusive articles from top authors, and great offers including cafe treats and unique deals. There’s over a million of free public ebooks as well as over a million of ebooks that you need to pay for available through Barnes & Noble eBook store. Prices are generally much lower than for physical books.
– Nook Color is better as a color e-Reader than Kindle simply because it has color and Kindle is black and white. Content that greatly benefits from color – such as kids books and magazines – looks much better and sharper on Nook Color’s screen.
– Nook Color is better as an e-Reader in general than iPad. It has a new generation screen which is anti-glare coated and is better performing in sunlight than iPad’s. Also, as it’s smaller in size than iPad, the text appears sharper on Nook’s screen. Also it has 12,000 (more soon) kids books that are built as a game with feedback.
– Nook Color has been picked as the editors choice by PC Magazine while pro reviewers of other sites (CNET, ZDNet, Engadget, AllThingsDigital, etc.) mentioned that it tested to be pretty fast for apps and PDF’s, and has a beautiful screen.
– Overall, Nook Color is more than e-Reader as you can also watch video and use Android applications on it. It’s a hybrid device, much more than just an e-Reader but not a full tablet as it doesn’t have a camera. If all you want is to read novels, Kindle (or the original e-Ink Nook) might be better for you. If you want something more from your device at half of the price of iPad or Galaxy tab, then Nook Color is your best bet.
– Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for library ebooks.
– Nook (unlike Kindle) can be used for renting text-ebooks.
