Lexibook announces Android-powered console

lexibookLexibook has had its fair bit of success with children’s electronics as well as high tech products, and in order to maintain their cutting edge in this particular industry, they have announced the launch of the world’s first Android educational and entertainment living room console which has been specially designed for littles ones aged 3 years and above. The concept behind this Android-powered console is pretty simple – connect, learn, and play! Let us check out what the starter pack in this Lexibook console has to offer for the masses.

This starter pack will come with a light dome with storage compartment for the characters, a single joystick which has been specially designed to work equally well for both right- and left-handers, a pair of characters: Lili the Ladybug, the brand’s visual emblem, and her best friend Enzo, the dauntless zebra, 26 comprehensive educational activities based on learning letters, words, numbers, shapes, and the seasons, as well as an interactive, pedagogically-designed picture dictionary, with over 10 games that were designed to develop children’s dexterity and logical skills, and an interactive book, and pre-loaded videos among others.

Not only that, one will be able to gain access to the LexiBox Market which would open the door to download thousands of free applications, allowing parents to bid farewell to expensive cartridges that are reminiscent of the NES and SNES days. One will be able to access a library of interactive books, including the famous Mr. Men and Little Miss books, not to mention gaining access to a VideoStore that holds a large number of videos for viewing.

The console itself boasts of a 3D welcome interface which will see the two little characters introduced, as they help guide kids through the LexiBox universe. Every single aspect of navigation has been designed to be intuitive, interactive, playful and stimulating. Parents too can rest easy knowing that secure Wi-Fi connection provided by Lexibook Protect will offer control over console usage time s well as its services thanks to the “time management” feature. Pricing details have yet to be determined as at press time though.

Lexibook Laptab Hybrid Device For Kids

Lexibook Laptab Hybrid Device For KidsKids love following the examples of their parents, which is why the classic “do as I say, and not as I do” mantra does not work very well at all with them – far from it, in fact. Should your little one see you toting around a tablet, he or she will most probably ask you for one, and that was when you decided to get them something more kid-friendly that can withstand the rigors of life with a 5-year old. However, when you bring home one of those shiny new hybrid notebook-tablets, finding a model that can withstand the inquisitive hands of a 5-year old might be a little bit tough. Enter the Lexibook Laptab, which happens to be a small computer that is not too different from a netbook in its form factor, although it runs on the Android operating system, sports a touchscreen display, and a hinge which allows you to fold the screen flat and use it like a tablet.

It is not the best tablet or notebook in the market, but it gets the job done in keeping your little ones happy, where it will retail for approximately £149.99 in the UK. Hardware specifications for this convertible notebook include a 7” display at 800 x 480 resolution, 4GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, 10/100 Ethernet and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi connectivity, and a 2800mAh battery, with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and educational apps, games and eBooks in tow.

    Lexibook Serenity Ultra Not A Name That Will Move Units

    Lexibook Serenity Ultra Not A Name That Will Move UnitsLexibook of France has had their fair share of netbooks and tablets amongst other devices for kids in the past, and it seems as though the company also wants to cater to the other end of the spectrum, that would be senior citizens and those who are getting on in their age. Their latest outing in the tablet form is known fondly as the Lexibook Serenity Ultra, which is definitely something that you know the hip and happening younger folks would not touch it with a 10-foot pole at the checkout counter. Perhaps they might want to bury it under their mountain of purchases, only to explain themselves to the cashier without being asked that they’re getting the Lexibook Serenity Ultra for their grandfather.

    The Lexibook Serenity Ultra will be an Android-powered device, sporting a far simplified user interface for easier navigation not to mention coming with large icon. The 7.9” display is good for 1024 x 768 pixel resolution, where it runs on a dual-core 1GHz processor, has 8GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, front and back digital cameras, HDMI and USB ports, and a battery life of up to 5 hours. You will also find custom software such as an app for managing your schedule, language translation, and a digital comic app. After all, isn’t laughter the best medicine? The Lexibook Serenity Ultra is said to cost a whopping 300 Euros in France, with plans for a US release down the road.

    Lexibook kids-tablet coming to the US, makes fifth-graders dream of an Aakash

    Lexibook

    French educational tech maker Lexibook is bringing its eponymous kiddy-tablet to the US from next month. It’s not talking specs or price, but we’re expecting it to be close to the Lexibook First currently available in Europe. The seven-inch slate packs a 600MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 4GB storage (expandable to 16GB with an microSD card), parental controls and 802.11 b/g WiFi. The FroYo-running device retails for £150 ($237) over the pond, but if the company tries something similar over here, we suspect people might plump for something a little more powerful, or less expensive, or both.
