VTech InnoTab Interactive Learning App Tablet

Take learning to the next level with the VTech InnoTab Interactive Learning App Tablet ($79.99 list). This multimedia tablet combines interactive reading, learning games, creative activities, and a rich collection of applications into a sleek and durable educational toy that kids will want to play with.

The InnoTab measures 9 by 1 by 10 inches (HWD) and requires four AA batteries. It comes in two color styles (ostensibly for a boy and for a girl). It has 64MB of onboard memory, and has an SD card slot for memory expansion. It features four types of media player: EBook reader, MP3 music player, photo viewer and video player. The eBook reader plays interactive e-books downloaded from VTech's Learning Lodge Navigator. (Parents can also use the Learning Lodge Navigator to stay abreast with their child's progress on a variety of educational milestones and lessons.) A story dictionary offers definitions on words that the user highlights in the story text.

The five-inch touch screen features a tilt sensor that allows kids to control how they play and is meant to help develop the skill of using touch apps, including tap, flick, pat, and drag and drop. Using the tilt-sensor they can control the action on games by turning, tilting and moving the tablet in different directions. The InnoTab also comes with a color Photo Viewer/Editor that can work with pictures transferred from a computer or via direct USB link from a VTech Kidizoom camera.

There are nine cartridges for the InnoTab (available for $24.99 list each). Each cartridge includes interactive e-books, learning games and creative activities featuring some of their favorite cartoon characters. The InnoTab also includes several other applications. There's an MP3 player to listen to favorite songs, and the Video Player that works with videos shot on the Kidizoom. Other applications include a calculator, calendar, notepad, clock with alarm, and friends address book.
