Two days ago, Amazon started to take preorders for the 7-inch VINCI Tab – children tablet (intended for children up to 4 years of age), which was announced recently.

VINCI Tab comes in two models (VL-1001, VH-2001) and runs Google’s OS – Android 2.3. The tablet is powered by 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor and 512MB of RAM and has a 7-inch glossy (800 x 480) Multi-touch LCD wide-screen display. It also has a built-in Micro USB, 3MP back facing camera and can support playback and creation of 720p HD videos. It weighs 580g and comes with a 3200mAH battery (VL-1001), which can hold up to 3 hours (when playing games, watching video, or listening to music). A red, soft grip-able octagonal safety frame surrounds the VINCI Tab. The frame is planned to accommodate the smallest hands while preventing dropping of the hardware on little feet. 

From Safety point-of-view, there is no WiFi – for minimal radio emissions. All future installed software can be loaded through the usb port via VINCI Tab Manager software. The screen is covered with Tempered glass, the gripping frame (with a silicone-like softness) is designed from Thermoplastic Elastomer Alloy and all materials are carefully selected to comply with all Safety Standards.
