Which is better for children - the HP TouchSmart or the iPad?

I soon discovered that the TouchSmart has a whole range of brilliant features, but this is a much more expensive and far more comprehensive item than the iPad, selling at around $1,861.14, so I don't really think it is a suitable item to buy for a child unless money is no object and the child is old enough and careful enough to appreciate an item of this quality and sophistication. Even then there is the chance of spoiling the child with this amount of money being spent on a gift.
This is what amazon.com says about the TouchSmart;
"More than just a Tablet PC, the HP TouchSmart tx2-1020us laptop is the world's first multi-touch consumer laptop, enabling the use of two fingers to navigate HP's entertainment MediaSmart applications. You can also surf the Web and use applications intuitively by touching the screen with a finger. The tx2 is also a true Tablet PC, allowing you to fold the display flat for writing and drawing with the included pen."
Given the choice, I would buy the entry level 16GB iPad, then see how well the child 1), looked after it and 2), how many of the features were being used other than games.
