My Take on the Tablet
This was an amazing educational tablet! My youngest daughter took hold of this and just took off. She loved the pre-loaded books and enjoyed being in control of how she read the books too. As a father I have to say that I really loved this feature as it allowed her to be able to put it on auto play, Read to Me, or Read By Myself mode. This by itself is so innovative and it allows the child to grow and learn with the story itself.
On top of this there are 35 other pre-loaded applications. My daughters' favorite so far was the Kids Video App. I really liked how the app pulled videos based on the age of the viewer, so I can be comfortable allowing her to look at videos that were appropriate for her age.
My daughter also really likest using the camera that is built into this tablet and seeing that it has quite a bit of internal built in memory. Now, the only downside is that it is only a 2MP camera so the overall quality is not the highest, but for her it is fine.
On top of the built ins, there are some great physical features such as the outside bumpers that make this tablet made for younger users, and you will find that these safeguard the tablet well from accidental drops, which is perfect for small hands.
All-in-all, I was very impressed and I think that you will be too. If you have a young child and are looking for a tablet for your child, I encourage you to check this out today!
