Fuhu, the company that produces acclaimed Kids tablets like the Nabi 2 ($199) is back at it and has released a $99 tablet called Nabi Jr. The tablet is for kids who may not need the speed of the Tegra 3 processor that Nabi 2 had (Nabi Jr is powered by Tegra 2). It is also smaller and features a 5-inch display (800×480), which makes it officially smaller than smartphones like the Galaxy Note 2. It may be a good idea, since young children hands are so small.
Industrial design aside, the Nabi Jr builds on the same idea than its older sibling: educate and entertain young children with a line of app built specifically for this audience. As usual parents do get some features too, and my favorite this time is a remote view of the Nabi Jr camera from a smartphone which turns the Fuhu Nabi Jr into a baby monitor. This tablet should launch this month for $99 (4GB) or $129 (16GB)

Currently lawsuits are all the rage in the tech industry, however it’s somewhat of a sad day when the ill-effects of corporate hardball trickle down to children’s toys. Nabi tablet maker Fuhu filed a lawsuit at a San Diego, California federal court claiming that mega retailer Toys R Us stole its product’s trade secrets for the development of its forthcoming Tabeo tablet for children. Fuhu alleges that last year Toys R Us agreed to exclusively carry the Nabi tablet in order to gain access to confidential information before launching a tablet of its own. The partnership between the two companies ended in January and Toys R Us has since announced its plans to release its Tabeo tablet this fall. Fuhu is suing for an undisclosed sum and requesting that Toys R Us relinquish its stock of Tabeo tablets. It’s too early to tell if this lawsuit will have an impact on the Tabeo’s launch plans, but if Fuhu has its way, Toys R Us will receive a lump of coal and a court order this holiday season. Bah, humbug!
