DQ News: Niche Biz: Tablets for Kids

Inc.:

While a new tablet launch isn’t breaking news anymore, there’s one that’s unlike any other yet to be released—it’s a full-fledged mobile computing device for kids ages three to 10 that lets them play educational games, watch videos from providers such as PBS and National Geographic for Kids, as well as engage in social activities like e-mail and video mail. It also has a “Mommy mode” so parents can use it to do grown-up tasks.

Made by Los Angeles-based Fuhu, the new tablet will be called Nabi and will get content from the company’s existing Fooz Kids application, which links to 33,000 educational and kid-friendly websites and has been praised by Mommy bloggers and child safety advocates since its launch this summer. The kicker is the tablet is only going to be about $170.
