Interesting. Odd that they missed getting into stores before the holidays.

I would avoid this. The single Cortex A8 is going to run Android 4.x pretty slowly. There are better kid oriented Android tablets at the $150 (will get you dual Cortex A9) and $200 (Tegra 3) price points. I picked up the Nabi 2 for $130 on Black Friday, and that's got a Tegra 3 + 1024x600 screen.

Also, these two quotes taken together are kind of funny:
"It epitomizes the Polaroid brand personality"
"the tablet was designed and manufactured by Southern Telecom, an authorized Polaroid licensee"

Polaroid tablets have been out for a while now the are made by ST
Hastings sells them as does Big Lots and Menards
7" 10.1 "
Freaktab has lots of threads on it's forums Custom Roms and much more. So instead of guessing I would start there. When you learn about how to customize Tabs they run much faster and use less juice.
They come partially rooted.
I got my 7" PMID703c for around $79 my 10.1 PMID 1000B was $139
Android PC/TV player sticks are a big hit now they come with Rockchip 3066 dualcores

I'm pretty sure the actual retail is less than $150.

Just not worth the price. I'd rather just give my son one of my older tablets and let him have at it once I set it up for him. Even if that was not a option the price/specs combo just seems to be a waste.
