Meep for Tablets for Tweens

One of the exciting tablets for tweens on the horizon this year is Meep!, to be released by Oregon Scientific later in the year.  Pricing isn't yet known, but the product is an Android tablet aimed at use by young people.  This is a great alternative in concept for the 9 to 12 age range, as it appears to be designed for durability.  Compared to LeapPad Explorer and Vtech Innotab, the system will have wi-fi capability, and will have access to free and inexpensive Android apps.  The device is more of a long term investment for kids who might quickly outgrow touchscreen toys.  It is also apparent that many interactive devices such as musical instrument add ons are being created to integrate with Meep!.  The educational potential in this device may be very exciting, especially if the pricing is affordable.  Watch for more information in the coming months.
