When does he deploy? I think apple is having an event/press conference this week re: the iPhone 5 and I know there's been talk about a smaller, cheaper iPad, too. I don't know when they'd go on sale though.
I don't have one but if I could choose, I'd get an iPad, no question.
Actually I lied, lol. I have a nook tablet but that's just 'cause it was a deal for me. I still want an iPad.
iPad. The thing that sold me on the iPad is how fast it is. Like, when swiping pages and stuff. A lot of the other tablets pause when flipping back and forth between pages. IPad doesn't. My SIL just got a Samsung galaxy and she's ready to throw it in the garbage because it's so slow.

Just make sure he is going to have wireless access where he is going if you plan to use it for Internet/Skype. DH was at a large FOB and had to plug into a LAN Line. He just came back this summer.
I have a Galaxy 8". I love it. Fast, reliable and super easy to use. Only thing I can't find (although I haven't looked in a while) is a cover/case for it but I'm sure they're out there.
The camera is good, takes better photos than most cell phones. The battery lasts a while too, especially with light usage/app usage (think cell phone w/o extended battery).
I've also dropped mine and gotten water on it and so far so good.
