    Can you not just get a microSD card or does she need more than 64gb?

    Welcome to the 'wonderful' world of android.. if the tablet has a USB port which support USB OTG then yes. If the Android version you have installed supports storing games on SDcard then yes.

    No, but if it has a microsd slot card you could buy one and get some extra memory that way. You said expandable up to 64mb but I'd presume that's 64GB, as 64mb would be useless.

    You can pick up a 32gb sd card online for under 15 euro.

    Just wondering, how exactly would an Ipad (assuming the same price range) be superior in this respect? I didn't think they even had microSD slots.

    SD slot is usually under a lift up flap on side of tablet. Check your manual for exact location
