Parents eager to give a tablet device to their little loved ones now have one more option in the form of the Meep! tablet from Oregon Scientific. Also, with kids as its targeted clientele, it shouldn’t come as a surprise the Meep! has been provided with extra layers of protection to ensure the tablet survives the often harsh treatment that its users are sure to mete out to the device. Oregon Scientific, with its acumen in the field of personal electronics, is wise enough to provide the device with enhanced rubber silicon covering for added protection.
Internal specifications are being kept under wraps as of now, though the Meep! tablet will be unveiled during the TIA toy fair. However, what has been made public is that the tablet will have a 7 inch display and will run an unspecified version of Android. Further, the Meep! will connect to the internet via Wi-Fi and features g-sensor and an SD card slot. The company is claiming the tablet will be suitable for children aged 6 and above and will come pre-loaded with enough parental controls to let parents control what their children can access.
Oregon Scientific has stated the Meep! tablet would be ideal for listening to music, watching movies, or reading e-books. However, the makers haven’t revealed which apps will come with the tablet. The Good e-Reader App Store though can provide all the e-book and comic book reading apps that one might need.

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.
