Oregon Scientific has this week unveiled a new Android tablet it’s added to their range of products in the form of the MEEP!, which has been created specifically for children age 6 and up.
The new Oregon Scientific MEEP! tablet is equipped with a 7-inch color touchscreen, together with WiFi connectivity. Once officially launched at the American International Toy Fair, the MEEP! tablet will also feature a variety of accessories sold separately, including musical instruments.
Parental Controls and Safety Features
Other features included in the MEEP! tablet include the ability to enable parents to monitor content using intuitive parental controls that can be adjusted remotely on any computer or mobile device with a browser and an Internet connection. This ensures that parents can keep an eye on what their children are accessing, providing peace of mind in today’s digital age. Oregon Scientific explains:
“The MEEP! tablet is an affordable fix for a tech–hungry generation of kids, featuring a tough design and an enhanced rubber silicon sleeve for added protection. Geared for children age 6 and up, the MEEP! tablet is Wi-Fi enabled, allowing access to a sea of web content that can be downloaded to its internal memory or SD card and viewed from any angle courtesy of the tablet’s internal G-Sensor.”
The parental controls are particularly noteworthy because they allow for real-time monitoring and adjustments. For example, if a parent notices their child spending too much time on a particular app, they can limit access or set time restrictions. This feature is invaluable for maintaining a balanced digital diet for young users.
Educational and Entertainment Value
The MEEP! tablet is not just about safety and parental controls; it also aims to be a comprehensive educational and entertainment tool. The tablet comes pre-loaded with a variety of educational apps and games designed to make learning fun. These apps cover a range of subjects including math, science, and reading, making it a versatile tool for both play and education.
Additionally, the MEEP! tablet supports a variety of multimedia formats, allowing children to watch videos, listen to music, and even read e-books. The inclusion of musical instrument accessories, sold separately, adds another layer of interactive fun. Imagine your child learning to play the piano or guitar through a tablet interface—it’s a modern twist on traditional learning methods.
The tablet’s robust design, featuring an enhanced rubber silicon sleeve, ensures that it can withstand the rough and tumble of everyday use by young children. This durability is a significant selling point for parents who are concerned about the longevity of electronic devices in the hands of their kids.
