Following the marginal success of their Nabi tablet, retailer Toys R Us has launched a sequel, the Tabeo.
The tablet runs on Android 4.0, has a 7-inch display, 4GB internal storage and is powered by a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor with 1GB RAM.
Additionally, the device has a microSD slot, dual cameras, Wi-Fi and HDMI connectivity, and supposed battery life of 10 hours.
Making it aimed at kids (and parents) is built-in parental controls that blocks websites based on 27 categories, with parents being able to add or remove from that list from their PCs. The Tabeo also allows parents to limit how long a child can access the Internet or how long they play games.
The Tabeo comes pre-loaded with 20 games including premium versions of Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Cut the Rope, and Temple Run. There also additional apps aimed at education and activities such as photography and cooking. The Tabeo App Store is also pre-filtered, but does have a decent amount of apps.
Toys R Us will start selling the tablet next month for $150.
