Hasta La Gadget!

The world of tablets is largely broken down into two categories where dominant operating systems are concerned – iOS and Android, although Microsoft did try to disrupt the dance between the two with their Microsoft Surface Pro machine that runs on Windows 8. Well, you know that with Apple’s iPad family, there are not too many models to choose from, but when you take into consideration just what Android has on offer, making a decision is highly challenging. Like, nearly impossible to make a good decision if you do not have the time to go through lengthy reviews and to do the right amount of research. Well, Ematic, one of the manufacturers who have churned out tablets for the budget minded for some time already without sacrificing on performance, has come up with their FunTab.

Just what does the Ematic FunTab deliver right out of the box? For starters, it will come preloaded with Zoodles, which is an advanced, parent monitoring platform that will help safeguard children’s online activities. Zoodles basically enables parents to pick and choose between their child’s browsing and downloading options. Heck, they can even login to Zoodles.com in order to check out all of their child’s content from an online database, now how about that? It does not matter if we are talking about drawings or video messages, or even educational, progress reports will be broken down by subjects learned, as Zoodles intends to bring both parents and children closer together.

As for the kind of hardware that you will find packed in the Ematic FunTab, we are looking at Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich running right out of the box with Kids Mode turned on, a 7” 800×480 capacitive multi-touch display, a 1.2GHz processor with an accompanying 400MHz GPU, 512MB RAM, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, two cameras – one in front and another at the back, and the Ematic Kids App Mall among others. Would you fork out $99 for this puppy?

Monkey see, monkey do – that is more or less what some folks think applies to kids. After all, haven’t we seen enough children who want to follow their dads and moms as an example, with little girls wearing make-up, while little boys doing their best to hold back their tears each time they fall down and scrape their knees? Having said that, with the plethora of gadgets and gizmos that us adults carry with us these days, it goes without saying that there will be little ones out there who would be bugging their parents to also purchase a touchscreen smartphone and a tablet. This might look cute from the outside, but the family dynamics have been altered in this way. Ematic seizes the opportunity to bring balance to families by introducing their FunTab Pro tablet.

The FunTab Pro tablet is not just any ordinary, run-of-the-mill tablet. Sure, it might come with a $149.99 price tag, but that does not mean it skimps on quality. You will find that it is made out of some rugged construction and design choices, while delivering a custom interface which offers nothing but fun, educational and parent-approved content for a safe online experience. Yes sir, with the number of weirdos stalking the Internet these days, you can never be too safe, can you?

The Ematic FunTab Pro will run on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, and Roy Rayn, President of Ematic, has this to say, “Ematic teamed up with Zoodles Kids Mode to create a safe and educational online learning experience for children. Zoodles is the top app for kids, and leads your child through every step of the interface with large buttons and vocal cues.” With a rubberized texture and ergonomic design, the rubber coating ensures one has a secure grip, while the original shape fits perfectly in small hands.

Other hardware specifications of the FunTab Pro include a 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, a 7” 800×480 multi-touch screen, front and back cameras, built-in WiFi, HDMI output and a claimed 8 hours of continuous playtime.
