The Vinci, a Tablet for Babies

Just when I thought that tablets have become ubiquitous, something comes along to prove I am wrong. It seems there is a segment in our society that is considered an untapped market for this gadget — babies. That’s right, folks, they’re making tablets for babies now. While there is no shortage of electronic devices that are made for babies, I wonder what area a tablet would satisfy. It turns out, nothing new. Generally, it’s still all about stimulating babies’ minds and senses. That’s not to say that something is wrong with that; the intention is good. You get a tablet that’s limited to that focus and nothing else.

The Vinci Touchpad is one such device. Its applications are limited to games, music videos, story books and media. With the exception of that distinctive handle, its  specs are nothing out of the ordinary. That handle is not meant to resist shock, though, on occasions your little bundle of joy decides to make it a Frisbee. The Vinci is not goo-proof, either, so your baby would usually require supervision to operate it.

It’s an interesting concept if you’re the type who’d want a portable distraction, err, activity for your tots. So, will you get your baby one of these?
