I could not find a viable alternative to the iPod touch 4g. I would have preferred to get my wife a more open device, and one that did not cost +$100 for a 32GB memory upstep with no user expansion.
Small, light, seemingly well built, great screen, competent browsing experience, Skype video chat, Netflix, and an amazing assortment of other apps, driven, obviously, by it's popularity.
Even the Apple app store is a bit fragmented by a few apps that will work on an iPhone but not an iPod, but not nearly as fragmented as the Android world currently is.
Plus, the Apple Store in the mall was the one place where we could REALLY use the devices before buying, and have a (reasonably) knowledgeable sales person show us how stuff worked. I admit there is real added value there.
The down side is my whole family is now addicted to Angry Birds.
