I would say it's something around $600? I'm not to sure on the American price.

If you're not really a tech savvy person, I would actually suggest an iPad. especially since the iPad 3 has just been released, driving down of the iPad 2 which is still a very good device.
android devices (most other tablets that aren't iPads) are a bit more complex and better suited for people who like to tinker and mess around with tech.
