Introducing the Fuhu Nabi 2, a quad-core kids tablet

3

As our society takes a conquest into deepening and faster technology, younger generations are getting more than just a glimpse into computers, tablets, and phones. Children even in pre-school are discovering how to learn computers, and some first grade requirements list a USB drive for a necessary tool!

If you are fond of a “Children of the Corn” technology takeover, you might want to look at this new tablet by Fuhu. Announced a while back, the Nabi 2 is starting hit store shelves, and just like the original Nabi, it is designed for children.

You will not believe the specs on this thing either. Just imagine a child’s tablet being faster than the average one.

Here are some of the specs:

  • A 1.3GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 A9 processor
  • Micro SD-Card support
  • 8GB of internal memory
  • 7″ (1024×600) touchscreen display
  • Mini-HDMI and Micro-USB ports
  • 4,000 mAh battery
  • And tasty 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich

The “kids” tablet does not come with the Google Play Store, but is rather sold with “App Zone”, which is a child friendly marketplace. Apparently the Play Store is not such a good idea for children to be introduced to, but a quad-core processor is, right?!

You will be able to pick this tablet up for $199 at Walmart, BestBuy, Target, Amazon, or Gamestop on July 22. Only a couple of days until your child has a faster piece of hardware than some of your devices.

Do you still think that this tablet is “kid-friendly”? Is the quad-core A9 processor needed? And how will this compete with the Nexus 7? I would love to hear your comments.

I have the experience of creating and writing Android news material for a year now. I found that the subject of Android is far more interesting, as you finally grasp the full intention of what is was really created for, open-source freedom software diversity. I currently sport a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, with the addition of JellyBean.

    It’s not that Google Play isn’t a good idea to be introduced to kids! It’s just that there are many restrictions that Google places in order to have them approve a tablet for it. However, on the original Nabi (or Nabi 1), you could sideload it as well as other Google apps, so theoretically we’ll see the same procedure available soon for the Nabi 2. And it’s super easy to get the Amazon App Store installed. Not to mention you can always use an app like Android Backup and Restore to grab your Google Play apps and install them yourself on the tablet…
