Samsung Electronics has launched the Galaxy Tab 3 Kids, a tablet designed specifically for children. The device which was launched in Accra comes with educational tools, safety features and pre-loaded with six top ranked globally acknowledged kids� apps as well as new kids� store. Mr Jaspreet Singh, Business Leader for Handheld Products at Samsung Ghana, said the tablet was designed to withstand general wear and tear including a protective cover for long lasting protection. �The child-friendly tablet has over 600 activities catering for children�s entertainment, with other contents like educational games and e-book applications. It also gives parents the opportunity to select the apps they want their kids to have access to, by using the Application Manager Control system,� he said. He said the device comes with a time management feature, which allowed parents to set specific time periods for use with password protection, and added that when the designated time is up, a password protected locked screen would appear on the screen, disabling further use of the device. �The tablet also has the same interface as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7-inches and kids can still use it as they grow up. Also parents can enjoy all the features of a regular tablet by activating the standard mode and that makes it a companion for the entire family,� he said. Mr Singh said the tablet was accompanied by lucrative accessories like the kids grip cover which came with different colours, multiple standard options and a C pen to help children draw. �It is no secret that kids are using technology more and more these days and the Galaxy Tab 3 is designed to keep them entertained while giving parents the control they need to manage content and time spent,� he added.
