Toys “R” Us Creates Own Tablet

The popular toy store has teamed up with Google’s Android to create a kid-friendly tablet called Tabeo. The device is preloaded with such apps as Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds, Tiki Golf and Temple Run, and has its own app store to create a selection just for kids. “Over the past year, we’ve spent considerable time talking to parents and children to determine what features and functions they really want in a kids’ tablet, resulting in Tabeo,” says Troy Peterson, vice president and divisional merchandise manager of Toys”‘R” Us U.S. “We are proud that Tabeo offers robust and flexible parental controls that can help protect children as they surf the Internet, and we are pleased to offer the Tabeo App Store, which features only kid-safe content carefully curated by the Toys ‘R’ Us team.”
