Toys R’ Us Unveils Tablet for Kids

Toys R Us is now selling a tablet that’s built just for kids. The Tabeo, which takes the fear out of handing over your expensive tablet, features a 7-inch screen and a Wi-Fi connection, and will be available at Toys R Us stores starting October 21. The tablet will retail for $149.99 and is available for pre-order beginning today. The tablet comes with 50 pre-loaded child-friendly apps, with an additional 7,000 free apps available to download. It runs on the latest version of Google’s Android operating system, dubbed “Ice Cream Sandwich.”  The tablet is wrapped in a soft “bumper” to protect the hardware if it is dropped. There are also extra controls in the device’s built-in browser, which allows parents to set different internet safety controls for up to eight users, by blocking certain categories of content and/or disallowing access to certain sites. The tablet can also be set to allow internet access only on certain days or during certain hours.
