Kurio

I saw an ad for this on the telly and was thinking that Santa might bring it to kids.

What I want to know is, is this just a gimmick, is there a cheaper alternative out there. My almost 3 and 6 year old are constantly playing games on my HTC so was looking for something for them.

You can get cheaper tablets that also have ICS on it, The thing about this is that is has child friendly features like the bumper cover. So the design is most likely being focused on that and not the actual tablet.

It looks gimmicky and i'd rather just buy them a cheap tablet it'll most likely be able to do more as that thing is probably locked down

I don't really get the rubber casing thing. If your kids are reckless enough to throw a tablet around the place they shouldn't be given this kind of toy.

I was thinking it was trying too much to be something extra.

Would anyone have any recommendations for a tablet, it would only be for the kids so nothing too fancy required.

Mind you ,this is nothing fancy

You should get a protective case , preferably from Ebay/Amazon

Thanks for the replies, I like the look/sound of the one on amazon so might go down that route.

The Kurio is very expensive for what it is
