The Kurio Xtreme tablet, from Techno Source, is the newest addition to the Kurio line of Android devices for kids. Due for release on October 1, the 7-inch Wi-Fi-enabled tablet features a sleek and thinner design, a faster processor, double internal memory, Bluetooth technology, and 24/7 customer support. It also introduces exclusive Kurio Motion gaming, the first body-controlled games on a tablet. Ten Kurio Motion games will be preloaded onto the tablet and millions of other apps can be accessed through the Kurio Store and Google Play.
The Kurio Motion games lets kids play on screen as they jump, run, and move in order to swim, ski, tend goal, speed race, and more in the game. The technology uses the tablet’s camera and a Kurio Motion gaming stand is included with the device.
The tablet comes preloaded with more than 75 games; offers access to more than 150 e-books and music streaming through apps such as Spotify and iHeartRadio; and is Netflix, Skype, and YouTube-compatible. Kurio has also partnered with Common Sense Media to assist parents in choosing the right content for their kid. Parents can also manage applications from Xtreme’s password-protected Parental Area, allowing for apps to be blocked and the setting of app time limits.
The Kurio Xtreme will be available at major retailers nationwide and online, including Best Buy, Kmart, Target, and Toys “R” Us. Additional accessories, sold separately, will include folio cases, touch packs, and themed screen care kits.
