Alongside, also was launched a Ben 10 tablet to provide learning and entertainment to kids.

In every child there could be a reading superstar, a creativity superstar, a tech superstar, a math superstar or some other inherent talent. Our tablets provide excellent and fun content to bring out and nurture the superstar that lies in every child. Instead of spending thousands of rupees on toys, video games and other merchandise, parents can gift their kids one of these tablets that not only provide unlimited learning and entertainment, but are also much safer compared to any other tablet.”
The tablets combine the best of technology and content and are powered by the Intel Atom Processor and are pre-loaded with award winning content from Cartoon Network and POGO. They also come pre-loaded with hundreds of books and learning games from leading international app developers. Both tablets are targeted at children aged three and above.

Best tablets for kids
Studies indicate that children in India spend an average of two hours daily watching television and are now increasingly spending a lot of time playing games on parent’s smart phones. With parents having increasing concerns about responsible use of technology, here’s why Eddy and Cartoon Network say the tablets make for a good investment in a child’s future:
Targeted at children aged 3+: 80% of a child’s brain is developed before the age of ten and these are the most critical learning years for a child, which impact future success.
Child appropriate content: Content has been stringently reviewed and approved by educators to ensure suitability for kids.
Strong parental control: Eddy’s proprietary Athena OS provides children a completely safe environment and allows robust parental controls including time discipline, usage reports and kid-safe internet browsing.
Powerful Intel technology: The tablets run on high performing dual core Intel processor Z2520 and feature 2 mega-pixel front & back cameras, 1GB RAM and 16GB storage.
Ophthalmologist approved: The screens are ophthalmologist approved as these are designed to provide protection from UV rays and reduce eyestrain.
Safety features: The scratch-proof screens are impact resistant, with a 9H hardness level. The tablets come with high quality drop-safe bumper made of food grade silicone to prevent damage from falls.
