I don't disagree with you. My mum is pretty much computer-illiterate.. Heck, I think I'll have better luck teaching a tupai/squirrel how to use Windows XP faster than her.
But I got her an iPad2 last year and she's been very happy using it. She checks e-mail, goes on skype to chat with her old friends, even reads articles on Flipboard. Apple finally made a device she could feel comfortable with.
She also uses it to take pics of kids when they come visit and all.
BUT,
If I saw my mom at a function blocking people with her tablet, I'd still scold her!!
Anyway, back on topic.
Nexus 7. tis good, ya?

Bought iPad3 for my mother too recently.But unlike your mothers my mother has decent knowledge of using pc.But turning the clicking mouse skill to touch & gesture was bit tricky.But she got hold of it after few days.
iPad camera is only good IF there's decent light.Otherwise you can see all the ugly "spots" in the picture.
Honestly I wanted to buy her Nexus 7.But the screen size is too small for old people plus I've no idea when Nexus 10 will be sold in Malaysia.
It's perfectly possible to teach older people on how to use latest technology.All you need is some patient.
P/S:My mother never use the iPad to take pictures at functions.Even she said it look stupid taking picture with the huge piece of aluminum.
