Hate to be saying thiS but return them both. Im having multiple issues with mine. It is unrooted and stock. Youtube freezes, lag when watching videos, random reboots and sleep of death. Buy your father an ipad and show him how to use itunes. Android is good for people who need an open filesystem and acess to torrent program and flash content. For me personally its worth the problems because I need the keyboard dock and just love the freedom of android.
My two cents
The thing is if he used an iPad he can't watch sports online since it won't support it. Whereas on the tablet we've tested it and it's been great. His main use was for sports, but he also has started to go on youtube.
