Price seems to be decent for what the device is designed for. Will be interesting to see reviews as to how it functions upon release.

I think it's perfect for kids, it's cheap and doesn't seem to be lacking for the price.
And for us adults, we have the Nexus 7.

Wow, computers and tablets are really taking over the world. (No I don't mean this in a negative way).

It's the archos child pad!!! 129.99 on Amazon.

Nabi 2 is a far superior product, same almost the same specs as the N7 and it's designed for kids.

Won't get sucked into anymore "tablets" like these, the V-Tech or Leapster.

My kids use our iPad and it works great. Why should I waste money on another tablet when I've alredy got a great tablet?

If this tablet aimed at kids, they should've made it from much, much more durable materials such as reinforced steel and raging gorilla glass.

You will get another tablet for your child once they drop and break your expensive ipad.
How many iphone screens I went through broke cos they dropped it playing angry birds.
This tabeo is a decent tablet built for kids, those V-tech ones hardly even resemeble a decent tablet.

Are the included APPs just the free limited-level versions or the full versions?

- Just like with real desktops/notebooks - kids can cause problems, so give them their own. Just put a password on it and train them to ASK you for permission to use their computer by having YOU log them in.

crappy specs, just get them a older gen kindle fire which has a better screen, or just add a few dollars more and get a nexus 7 which is better in every way.

800x480 is very low for a modern tablet, and the 1GHz CPU is common in many sub $100 Chinese capacitive tablets. overall it is another case of overcharging on things targeted at kids or babies.

Just another Android tablet that will sell in the tens and disappear without a trace.

Haven't cracked an iPad or iPhone screen in almost 3 years of use by both my kids. Supervise when they use them and use a good case and you're all set.

Galaxy Note Table is the one for adults

Depending on the specs, it may be better to get the Nexus table.

Now you can buy disappointment for your kids just in time for christmas as you can see all the limitations placed on a low end android offering.

 

[eric_son]

Your kids will learn how to root, add recovery and flash a custom mtd!

 

[JOSHSKORN]

A tablet for kids better have Gorilla Glass 2 and MUCH bigger icons, like those Windows Phones but way better looking.

 

[spookie]

It is a bit thick..but then again it is focused on Young kids, so it might be a good thing?

 

[GreaseMonkey_62]

Not a bad idea actually.

I agree. My son is always asking for my phone so he can look stuff up. I would consider one.

The Nabi 2 blows this thing out of the water. Non-Geek parents may buy it because they'll SEE it at Toys 'R' Us, but they will be missing out on a much better product that isn't as well known due to limited marketing.
Big pass on the Tabeo. It should be $100.

I'm gonna buy it or something similar for my now 4 months old son. He will be able to develop his motor skills (precision), learn to count, read and be familiar with computers. Just because this thing is "backed" (sold at) Toy'R Us that gives me peace of mind knowing I have a big name to blame if anything at all goes wrong. My biggest worry is really for the kid's eyes. Looking at a phone for anything more than 20 seconds makes my far vision blurry for a minute or so.

"Adults can easily set tailored levels of security for up to eight users, allowing children of multiple ages to access different types of content."
It'll be hard enough to get two kids to share this.. Good luck trying to get Eight kids to share it!! hehe..
But still, good to have that capability.
