Some great iDeaPlay Tablet. Review

With 2 teenagers at home buying laptops, tablets and smartphones can be quite an extra budget, my daughter received a iPad and new laptop as Christmas gift last year, my son uses the family desktop and now owns my daughter's older laptop he was quite happy with that deal but he really wanted a tablet, so he came up with the idea of getting a tablet as his birthday gift; since his  BD was 8 months ahead  I said sure, I know there are parents who can afford to buy 2 iPads in less then a year but that's not us. For a couple of months I was looking for an affordable kid's tablet. My son is 14  but I'm not ready to let him try any kind of technology that cannot be monitored or has parental control, children tablets are perfect for a first tablet and for a teenage boy who drops and loses his phone every 30 mins. For a couple of months I was looking for a tablet in our budget range, with parental control, games and the ability to surf the net and add some apps my son loves (facebook, twitter, instagram and pandora or spotify). Later on that month we find out we're pregnant again and we could not possibly afford one, my son told us it was ok but I knew he was heartbroken and so was I.

 A couple of weeks later we were blessed with the opportunity to review the iDeaPlay android tablet, while I was actively looking for a tablet The iDeaPlay was between my 3 top options. This iDeaPlay design is sleek with rounded corners and curved in the 4 sides, the tablet come with a functional, safe, durable and bold orange silicone bumper.  The iDeaPlay has a 7'' display/screen and 800 x 480 (touch screen), with  Dual Core 1.2GHz & Android AB20, 1gb RAM, 4gb  internal storage's  (expandable to 32gb), weights 0.60 lb approx., a front facing camera of 0.3 mega pixels, OS Android  Jelly Bean 4.2, a  3,200 mAh Lithium-polymer battery, built in parental control and comes pre-loaded with  many apps, the most prominent being Famingo.

Famingo is a child friendly app, perfect for children up to 11, this app has so many fantastic features to keep children entertained  in a safe environment,  Famingo has to be loaded and locked for children to  be able to play with it, comes with a built in security system to lock or unlock and offer the parents the ability to remotely monitor your  childs activity through Famingo website. Once you loaded  Famingo you have 2 options play -  manage: the first designed for kids and the second for parents, one of my favorite features is the ability to control  the amount of time your children can use the device. Famingo offers hours of video streaming in their premium version, and  offers the parents total control over the type of games your child can play  yet the child can add games they're wanting to try to their wishlist. Many of their games can be played with out access to internet/wi-fi .

While I had so much fun testing Famingo it was definitively different than what I was expecting and I thought  it might not be what my son wanted,  we will see once he receives this tablet as a Birthday present, yet the tablet can also be used as a regular tablet and has so many apps to choose from iDea Apps Marketplace, you can find thousands of apps free or paid for your tablet however I couldn't find spotify, calibre or instagram 3 really popular apps available on Google Appstore. The tablet works great as a regular tablet kids can access pandora instead of  spotify for music and they have 100's of game apps (my son favorites). however google loads really fast and so does other programs like facebook and twitter. Your children or teenager will enjoy playing with this little gadget.

While my husband and I have reached an agreement to save enough money to  buy my son a more grown up tablet next year like the iDea7 (super affordable) the iDeaPlay will do a great job as his first tablet and teach him, electronic devices need to be cared for. This tablet will be great for the baby coming in August and she/he will be able to grow up in a safe and fun technological environment. While this tablet is great as a child 's tablet, there is a couple of things that could be upgraded like: upgrade camera resolution, add Google Appstore and the battery lifespan is too short 3 hours tops.  Inside the iDeaPlay box you will find: tablet, micro USB cable, Power Adapter, USB Dongle, protective tablet cover, earbuds, manual and how to register your tablet to activate the 1 year warranty. The iDeaPlay retails for $129 in store but can be purchased for $99 through amazon.com, you can visit iDeaUsa Website or follow the company on Facebook or twitter for more news and offers.

  4. Sounds like it would be great for the younger kids. There are so many to choose from it is mind boggling I have RA and it is often difficult to use my hands and it gets heavy.

  12. That tablet looks like it's more geared for younger kids. I have teens and they are pretty techy I'm not sure if that would hold their attention very long

  13. This tablet looks pretty because of the orange casing. I'm sure the kids love playing the games and they are always entertained. I'm not sure if that brand is available in out country.

  15. My son has a tablet. We thought he was too young for it, but he got it as a gift and after some consideration we let him have it. It's turned out to be nice for him! And he doesn't overuse it.
