It’s called the **Archos 101 ChildPad** and it’s available on Amazon: it’s the new **tablet for kids**. Here’s the **price** and technical specifications.
Tablets appeal to everyone and are proving to be particularly popular tools for children.
A market with great potential for growth is therefore emerging in the tablet for children, objects that are halfway between technology and toys but are still genuinely electronic devices.
Archos has recently introduced a new tablet for children into its catalog, named Archos 101 ChildPad.
The display is 10.1 inches, touch-enabled of course, with a resolution of 1024 × 600 pixels. It is “framed” by soft, rounded lines, with a white casing and orange edges, and a convenient handle on top, making it easier for children to carry.
The processor is a Rockchip RK3168 SoC: a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 running at 1.2 GHz, supported by 1 GB of RAM, while the native internal storage is 8 GB but can be expanded using a microSD card.
The operating system running on this tablet is Google Android 4.2 Jelly Bean but Archos has chosen to heavily customize the interface to make it more user-friendly for children.
It’s great that there is access to the Google Play Store apps, with parental control filters.
Above the screen, there is a front-facing webcam; connectivity modules include Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi, along with USB 2.0, USB 2.0 OTG, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and an HDMI output.
The battery is 5000 mAh, so this tablet’s battery life will likely be quite substantial.
Finally, it’s complemented by a technological teddy bear on the casing, which is detachable and has a magnet. A nice idea: it’s essentially an audio player with a built-in speaker that can also light up at night. Children can use it as a toy, carry it around, and perhaps listen to music.
The Archos 101 ChildPad will be available for sale soon, but it is already possible to pre-order it on Amazon for the price of 190.04 euros.
