 If you reside in the good old US of A, or America to put it clearly, and you're 6 years old and upwards, you'll be in for a treat this Summer. Okay, so it's highly unlikely that 6 year olds will be reading an Android tech blog, but for all you parents out there, you'll be very glad to hear that a new Android tablet aimed towards children is on its way.  Inspiration Works, a UK based company, has showcased a new family of Android tablets aimed at kids and parents alike named Kurio. It debuted at 2012's London Toy Fair and is likely to appease UK parents hungry to spend their cash on a little piece of Android tech for their youngsters. Kurio is suitable for children as young as 4 years too!  We're pretty sure that there are a large number of parents within the UK searching fruitlessly for a child-centric Android tablet. Not that there aren't a few of them on the market, either out there right now or on their way which include; Nabi Pad, Archos Arnova ChildPad, Kurio Android tablet by InspirationWorks and a 'Hello Kitty' Android tablet by Sakar.  Parents have been searching high and low for a perfect Android tablet to suit their children's needs, at a budget friendly cost. There are already a couple knocking about, but unfortunately Nabi Pad is only available in the US at present and Sakar's Hello Kitty Android tablet, which was announced at CES back in January, has no UK release date as of yet. It is a Godsend therefore, to know that a child friendly Android tablet, in the form of Archos Arnova ChildPad is now available in the UK!  It's no surprise to learn that Walt Disney have taken a slice of Android pie. Just as it won't be a shock when/if Virgin announce their own Android smartphone/tablet, it was only a matter of time before Disney emerged into this market. It's a wise move on Disney's part, as kids become increasingly aware of technology at earlier ages, and they want a piece of the Android action... Disney style.  A Hello Kitty Android tablet has been unveiled at CES 2012. Aimed at Android's youngest customers, who all want to get their grubby little hands on the very latest gadgets just like mum and dad, it's bound to be a resounding success. Although Little Kitty is obviously for the girls, we're sure that boys themes will soon follow.  Kids! Aren't they just adorable? The trouble is that they grow up so fast nowadays. Your cute little 3 year old daughter is as likely to want make-up and smellies for Xmas as a cuddly and interactive Milky rabbit, which incidentally is one of the must have toys of the year for youngsters. There is every probability that as soon as you take a quick look at your Android phone or tablet your little one will try to get in on the act. Writing that email becomes nigh on impossible as inquisitive chocolate covered little fingers poke and prod at the touchscreen. |
