I am wondering if anyone uses their tablet for kids to watch videos in the backseat? If so, have ypu attached to headrest? I have tons of kids videos on my tablet and am thinking it could work better than my portable dvd player in car

Thanks Karel :P way to be helpful here
And funny that this post came up, I just got back from a 11 hour (both way) car trip to Northern Oregon and I used my N810 to watch videos going both ways. I got really good battery life, enough to watch approximately 2 full length movies (dvd rips) before needing to recharge. The screen is beautiful and it works much better than a lot of DVD players because of the excellent viewing angle of the screen and high resolution (I can watch a movie with very little brightness or color distortion from about 80 degrees which is awesome if a couple people want to watch)
And I wasn't driving so I just sat in the backseat with my friends and we propped my tablet up on a pillow.

I think that a portable dvd has fewer confusing possibilities and buttons than a tablet, so that an adult supervisor would be needed in many cases to use a tablet.
Also, I wonder if the screen might be hard to see in a car in some circumstances.

That's the only thng that I dislike about my N800. On a sunny day my screen is pretty dim, great indoors even under bright lighting.

Karel,
Dont assume. All my files are totally legal. Downloaded from tv or paid for, but thanks for looking out for me.
Others, I am thinking of using a piece of velcro and attaching to an old dvd headrest adapter. I am not worried about the kids figuring them out, I can just put one of their shows on and let them watch. I just like that I can have lots of show options instead of a dvd

KArel & Mara,
OH, That never occurred to me. Sorry, let me be clear, I have tv shows that my kids can watch (Dora, etc....) As any of you know that have kids, they change their minds on shows quickly so having 25 of them on my tablet is much easier than DVD's.

I always make sure to lock screen for that very reason.
