The XO 3.0 tablet is the first tablet to be powered by solar cells. The XO tablet has special power circuitry that can be charged using an optional cover’s solar panel or using a hand crank that can provide 60 minutes of operation for every six minutes of cranking. This tablet for children in developing countries has multiple charging options – making the XO kids tablet a practical, low-priced educational tool.

The green ruggedized 8-inch solar tablet, is designed to give kids in the developing world access to modern education.

The child’s tablet will come in two display versions: a standard 8-inch 1024 x 768 LCD and an 8-inch PixelQi 1024×768 resolution sunlight-readable display. Connectivity ports include USB, mini USB, and audio in/out.

OLPC, has been developing the kids tablet over the last few years as a low-cost alternative to standard notebooks. The XO tablet, will provide network information to those in developing countries using just a fraction of the power that notebooks do.

Christmas Tablets/Slates 2012

Why Buy a Tablet/Slate for Christmas 2012

Copyright © 2010-2012 KidsTablet.com. All rights reserved.
You want to find the perfect gift for that always-on-the-go person on your Christmas list–or maybe that extra busy person is you. A slate or tablet PC could be the perfect solution. Small, light, and filled to the brim with useful and fun applications, a slate or tablet gives you mobility and function in one package. Holiday tablets are a great gift idea – you can even find a tablet for kids.

Portability

Weighing as little as one pound, a tablet PC is far lighter than a laptop or even a netbook. Many tablets and slates are small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. For a person with a busy schedule, the size and weight of a tablet makes it practical to carry in almost any situation.

Access to the Internet

The ability to access email, a Twitter account, or Facebook while on the move is one perk of owning a tablet or slate. With Wi-Fi becoming more common everywhere, tablets also give the ability to do research online, check stock quotes, or do price comparisons on the spot. Whether you’re curled up on the couch or sipping a latte at the local coffee shop, tablets let you get online almost anywhere.

Entertainment

Maybe the person on your Xmas list loves to read. Maybe she’s a dedicated online gamer, or it could be he loves watching the latest movies or TV episodes on his own schedule. Perhaps your favorite way to relax is to watch the latest video making the rounds on the Internet. Whatever you do for entertainment, a tablet PC or slate can help you enjoy yourself wherever you feel the most comfortable. Tablets make excellent e-readers while offering so much more: the ability to watch videos, go online to play games, or download fun apps of all kinds.

Productivity

Maybe Christmas isn’t the time when you most want to think about work, but it’s good to know that a tablet or slate can do more than just entertain you. Just attach a keyboard to write a report, or use the tablet’s programs to control presentations, stay in touch with your colleagues, and keep organized.

Tablets/slates are becoming more and more affordable, making them perfect for anyone looking for a portable, useful, and fun Xmas gift.

Ways to Get Your Child Reading

Copyright © 2010-2012 KidsTablet.com. All rights reserved.
It is true that “reading is fundamental”. But what’s a parent to do with a child who doesn’t show interest in books? Don’t fret, the problem is very common and there are easy, tried-and-true methods to break the “no-reading” blues. Before you know it, you’ll have a little bookworm on your hands!

Read yourself

Kids love to think they’re grown-up. There’s nothing more enticing in life to a little one than imitating “mommy” and “daddy.” In other works, if they see that you love reading, they’ll want to crack open a book too. You don’t have to make a production out of it, just make sure that your little one gets a glimpse of you enjoying a good book for at least 30 minutes a day.

Read to Them

If you want to make reading a part of your child’s routine, start them early. Some parents go so far as to start reading to their babies in utero. While there’s no evidence that starting before birth makes a significant difference, studies do indicate that age 2 is a good time to begin. And with the new kid’s e-reader tablets, reading is a lot more interactive and therefore, a lot more engaging for the young ones.

Invest in a Kids’ Tablet

The tablet e-readers on the market today make discovering a book an interactive event! Characters are animated and children can even insert themselves into stories. Some kid’s e-reader books — especially ones for the LeapPad Explorer –even allow you to develop the plot of the story as you go along.

Take them to the Library

Regular trips to the local library are always a good idea if you’re in search of ways to get your child reading. Moreover, most libraries have free kids’ programs. Better yet, many libraries and schools have tablet e-readers available for use.

Encourage Audio Books

Audio books are another great way to start children off on a reading path; lucky for you, most children’s e-reader tablets feature an audio option. That’s right, e-readers will actually read the book aloud to your child – some even highlight words as it goes along!

Don’t Force It

The most important thing to remember is to not force reading. Kids are allergic to anything that’s jammed down their throats – think vegetables. If the message becomes “read or else” the joy of reading becomes associated with obligation as opposed to enjoyment.

Interactive e-reader tablets make the experience that much more engaging. The holiday season is upon us, so why not considering buying a kid’s tablet for that budding bookworm in your family.

Santa and the Mrs are getting things ready up North; before you know it, your little one will be asking for a pen and paper (or do they email the big guy these days?) to send their wish list. And I’ll bet you a gingerbread house that one of the items on that list will be one of the many kids’ tablets coming out just in time for this holiday season — after all, kids want what the grown-ups have!

Christmas Tablets for Kids 2012

Educational-Centric Kids Tablets

While most kid-friendly electronic devices boast some sort of educational benefit, LeapFrog Technologies and VTech are battling it out for the title of “best consumer-grade learning tablet.” Leapfrog’s offering is the Leapad Explorer and VTech’s the InnoPad. Both come equipped with built-in video recorders and microphones and feature robust edutainment software. (Look out for the Kineo and Kno, too. While they’re not available in retail, yet, your little ones may be bringing them home from school.)

An E-Reader For Budding Book Worms

Nook Color for Kids is this season’s hot kid-friendly e-reader. It works just like a regular Nook or Kindle, with a few interactive extras for the little ones. Through the Nook, you can access thousands of children’s book favorites and kids can interact with the stories – it’s guaranteed to kick start any child’s love of literature and learning.

For The Up-And-Coming Picassos and Pollocks

Encouraging creativity is just as important as getting a jump-start on phonics and mat. THQ’s uDraw game tablet has been dubbed “kiddie Photoshop.” A multipurpose tablet, uDraw plugs into a video game console (XBox 360, Nintedo Wii and PlayStation 3); whatever is drawn on the tablet appears on the television screen! The pixel-resolution is impressive and the color-choices limitless. Built in shapes and features add to the fun.

The best way to get your hands on these tablets in time for Christmas is to order online. Besides, isn’t it much more pleasant to do your holiday shopping in the comfort of your own home rather than fight the crowds?

Bottom line: the must-have kids’ gifts for Christmas 2013 are tablets! My advice: pick yours up sooner rather than later. In a couple of weeks ads will flood the market, supplies will diminish, and you may land on the dreaded “wait list.” Remember: shop early and online to save.
