French company Lexibook is all set to launch its tablet meant for kids in the US on September 15. Running Android (version unknown), the Lexibook tablet comes with all the features that any kid’s tablet should have, which includes built-in parental controls that will allow the parents to keep a tab on what their little ones are up to in the virtual world. The tablet connects to the internet via high speed Wi-Fi connection, so kids can download essential apps from the Lexibook Market that plays host to more than 10,000 apps. These include Pig Rush, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Pandora, and Skype, to name just a few. Also available are thousands of other fun and educational apps that should appeal to the Kids.
The Lexibook tablet is also designed for use by both the toddlers and pre teen community and comes pre-loaded with content that can be considered appropriate for them.
“The educational content is adapted to the curriculum with 500 sheets of general education, tests and interactive quizzes. School Zone™ apps and 200 pre-loaded e-books are also included to complete the educational offer. Children will discover their favorite stories, rhymes and Susie Tallman’s top songs and karaoke videos. For even more fun, 25 games and 52 discovery activities are included as well as a camera with photo editing software,” the company press release revealed.
Kids will also get to watch videos, listen to music, or play games on the tablet. The idea is to let the current breed of tech savvy children have a device that can be as much for fun and games as it will be for study.
As Lexibook CEO Aymeric Le Cottier stated: “We’re really excited to present this new innovative range that will enable kids to change the way they learn and play. Our great content and fantastic features bring an immediate unique user experience and the built-in gaming and apps download center bring endless possibilities for kids.”
The tablet will be launched across the US at all Toys R Us stores, though the pricing has been kept a secret so far.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
