The Kurio was a gift from my parents
The Kurio was a gift from my parents to our 10
year old son - who thinks they are the coolest people in the planet! He
absolutely loves it - and so do we. From our point of view, we love the
fact that we can control what content he sees, when he sees it and for
how long (that is a GREAT feature!). The initial set up was pretty
straight forward (once connected to WiFi - things just `flow'), it took
about 10 minutes for my husband (he is an engineer) to get the tablet up
and running for him. We did go back at it later and tweak some of the
configuration to make sure we had all our bases covered in terms of what
he has access to. Again - this secondary set up was pretty straight
forward. Once we gave him to him - it took him a little while to figure
out the controls/hand gestures - and well - he has been loving it since.
The preloaded apps/games have kept him entertained from the beginning,
and then we looked for new ones (we wanted a few educational games on
there). He has enjoyed those as well, and now he is able to search and
download what he wants (within the limits we stipulated). We purchased
an external memory card - and have uploaded a couple of his favorite
movies and songs. He has taken to photograph the world around him and
show us what things look like from his perspective (which is fun).
Something that caught us by surprise (and we are very thankful for) is
that he loves reading books in his tablet. This is an unexpected bonus,
and we will continue to encourage him to read more. We have looked at
the non-child interface (we followed the instructions to activate the
full Android interface - and we can see that it is useful for adults
too. Basically it seems to operate in the same way as a normal Android
tablet. That is a great option too!
