The Archos Child Pad kid-centric tablet is ready to spread the Android flavor among tiny tots. Though most of its specs could be regarded as anything but modest, the slate’s Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 theme makes it apt for the younger lot.
First off, the tablet binges on the ICS OS and operates on a 1GHz processor. Carrying 1GB RAM, it houses 4GB flash memory for storing various multimedia, Word and image files. Kids can expect to be treated to a wide catalog of preloaded content. Going with the theme, it arrives with pre-installed clips of the aforementioned movie, along with behind-the-scenes videos, wallpapers, images and more from 20th Century Fox.
Considering that it’s a children’s slab we’re talking about, there’s an integrated 6-month parental control utility to ensure safe web surfing, courtesy of Editions Profil. It lands built-in with popular apps like Angry Birds and other applications related to general knowledge and education. With its colorful icons and shortcut keys to apps, games and books, the user interface has been tailored specifically for kids.
An online store designed for children dubbed AppsLib, provides access to a horde of apps made just for the little ones. In terms of web connectivity, the tablet offers Wi-Fi for browsing the web and checking emails.
