Kineo Android Education Tablet |
Tablets are for fun right? Well, sometimes they are for education and fancy book-learnin. Err, non book learning I mean. Brainchild has a new Android tablet for students called the Kineo. It’s kid friendly, so it can be dropped, kicked, drooled on, thrown across the room etc.
The Kineo features a touchscreen display good for up to 500,000 impressions and has a 12-hour battery life. It also sports Wi-Fi, a 800 x 480 screen resolution, a 800MHz dual core CPU, 2GB of internal memory and Google Android 2.1. You can pre-order the Kineo from Brainchild for $299. It will ship in March 2011.






Video Projectors have replaced the filmstrip projectors and overhead projectors that teachers used when I was in school. Today the teacher can simply pull up a page on her computer or run software and let the whole class view it on a screen or the blackboard. Projectors are certainly much better than fighting those stuttering filmstrips that always seemed to get out of sync with the audio.
This “Baby BlackBerry” is not from RIM, which would explain all that cheap plastic and the cutesy animal theme. It’s a Text and Learn PDA for kids from LeapFrog. Your little ones will have a jump start on the other kids when it comes to texting and churning out emails.
