PlayBase+ is a tablet for kids

As tablets get cheaper and more accessible, and with the current generation growing up with technology surrounding them, we guess we can’t say that we’re surprised to learn that more companies are starting to creating tablets aimed specifically for kids. In any case it looks like we can add the PlayBase+ to that list, a tablet designed for kids in the sense that it sports a medical grade silicone cover and an anti-bacterial touchscreen with a Silver Seal that helps to prevent the growth of bacteria, a feature which should put parents’ minds at ease.

As far as its specs are concerned, the PlayBase+ will feature a 7” 480×800 display, a 1.2GHz single-core processor, 8GB of internal storage, 1GB of RAM, a 0.3MP front-facing camera, a microSD card slot for memory expansion, Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board, WiFi, stereo speakers, an accelerometer, and a battery life that boasts 5 hours of usage, and 60 hours on standby, and will come with child-friendly apps like Net Nanny. The PlayBase+ tablet is available now for $229. [Product page]
