Fuhu Inc., known for creating
tablets and applications for children, recently announced the new
DreamTab tablet. Designed to deliver grown-up technology but built just
for kids, the tablet is the result of collaboration between Fuhu,
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. and Intel Corporation and is designed to
deliver fun educational and entertainment experiences that transform the
way kids learn, play and grow through technology.
The new tablets will be available starting in June 2014.
“We are dedicated to providing kids new and engaging experiences in
learning and entertainment integrating the most up-to-date and powerful
technology in the market,” said Jim Mitchell, CEO, Fuhu. “With Intel
Inside, we are provided with the power and performance to deliver
amazing experiences, limitless creativity and professional tools for
kids to animate and tell stories in the palm of their hands.”
Based on Intel’s new 64-bit enabled Intel® Atom™ Z3740 processor
(“Bay Trail”), the DreamTab will offer fast performance, powerful
graphics capabilities, long battery life, and rich, immersive
educational and entertainment experiences.
Combined with a new operating system layer on Android, DreamTab will
be a powerful Android-based tablet that includes advances in stylus,
touch-screen and NFC technologies.
“We are excited to collaborate with Fuhu, a leader in tablets for
children, and bring Intel technology to its next-generation DreamTab,”
said Hermann Eul, vice president and general manager for Intel’s Mobile
and Communications Group. “This is just one example of the leading
educational and entertainment experiences our companies can deliver
together with Intel Inside.”
Here are few of the DeamTab features:
- Advanced parental controls allow moms/dads to set time limits and
lock or unlock features. The controls also provide for a
COPPA-compliant/kid-safe e-mail, text and photo sharing capability that
is one-of-a-kind and can integrate with parents’ own mobile devices.
- With NFC (near field communication) gaming technology, figurines
come to life online by tapping on the tablet. The initial game, School
of Dragons, an educational multiplayer online experience, will feature
DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon franchise.
- Custom-built “nabi Play” features the widest variety of kids
programming — from DreamWorks Animation as well as Nick*, Disney*,
Cartoon Network* and other leading children’s content sources —
comingled in one easy-to-navigate location.
- Curated App Zone and Treasure Box allow parents and kids to browse,
download, purchase apps, games, music, movies, videos, e-books and even
real goods with a single click.
