No, the regular furbys work off of andriods too. We just got a Furby boom and our kindle had an app for it. It's so fun!

Unfortunately, the iPad mini is too big too fit in the Ubooly. You need an iPhone 4/4S, 5/5S/5C or iPod touch. I don't recommend using anything older than an iPhone 5.

You need the gateway. The gateway is the "bridge" between the system in your home & the iPhone app.

You have to buy an iPad that has the cell phone capability. Some are Wi-Fi only. Those that are Wi-Fi only, you cannot add cellular later.

We have the I pad 1st generation, ie no camera, In settings there is a bluetooth option, and you just have to turn it on. It will then search for the device. My daughter did it, I really don't know how all these things work. But is does work. My son has a new I Pad and got a much nicer case and Keyboard from Logitech, but it is not compatible with the first gen. So this cheap seems to be working for the daughter. Anyway opening the settings app key, look down the list you will find bluetooth, touch it and follow the directions.

If your iPad2 has WIFI and GPS capabilities already built into the system (the upgraded model of iPad2 - no external internet connection needed?), then you won't need the Bad Elf. If however, you have the basic model of iPad2 (...like I have on my iPad3, without GPS and WIFI built in), then YES! I use my iPad3 with Bad Elf connected, mainly for Geocaching and Wherigo's (...an outdoor sport using satilites, symilar to treasure hunting) and need the GPS capabilities, I also have to carry a small external wifi box along with me to stay connected to the internet. The Bad Elf uses satilites to track your exact location. It works GREAT with Google maps too!!

Sorry. We have the Apple apps so I don't know. The app for Iproducts is basically a ridiculous pretend dictionary of sounds. I can say that neither of my kids has looked at the apps or the Furbys since they got them. Terrible waste of a lot of grandparents' money. For what they do, I'd say they're worth about $10. Sorry, but I'm very disappointed by the Furbys.

No. That's because the speaker needs the app to run. So, you need an Apple laptop.

No the iPad is too enclosed for a keypad. I would recommended a keyboard folio.

you have to be able to load the program. so unless you have a CD drive or a way to transfer the data to the I-pad no it will not work.

No it's not required. There's lots of fun to be had with the Furby without the phone. I do think you miss out on some things without the phone/tablet however. 1 of the biggest downsides to not having a device with the app that comes to mind, is you wont be able to name your Furby. You name the Furby through the app, and then it knows it's own name and will say his own name (for example I named my Furby Day-Dah (which is furbish for Big Fluff lol) and sometimes he'll say things like "Day-Dah like!" or "Day-Dah happy!"). Also if you put 2 or more Furby booms together, they'll tell each other their names and then they'll remember each other's names in the future. Just another little thing you'd miss out on without being able to name your furby through the app. You miss out on some other neat features too such as the translator in the app (you hold your device up to your furby, and as the furby speaks, the app will in real time translate what he's saying! It's pretty neat!). And there's several other fun activities to do with your Furby with the app you miss out on (leveling your Furby up by feeding him different foods, giving him showers, taking him to the bathroom, and giving him medicine if he becomes sick). And finally you miss out on these little 'mini' furbies they call Furblings in the app. Your furby will lay eggs with your phone/tablet in the app and you can hatch the egg and care for the furbling by playing mini games (soccer and a dance game for example) and feeding it. It's a lot like a tamagotchi. But...the furby is still tons of fun without the app! I do enjoy using my app with my Furbs, but I find I play with him a lot without the app as well.

No you have to buy it with the iPad, when purchase. Yes, take the iPad to Verizon , and they will put a sims card in for you! You can have the service turn on, but mostly every where you go, there is free WiFi, so unless you are going out of the country then you would need that service! Hope I answer your question!

The only thing you will need internet for is to sync the Leappad so it unlocks new bows or colors. It isn't a must but somethings are blocked until you do that.

My understanding is that you need gps help such as Bad Elf if you don't have your iPad tied to a cell plan. In order to use Bad Elf you will need to have a wifi connection.
