EL SEGUNDO, CA — (Marketwired) — 10/21/14 — Just in time for the holidays, Fuhu, Inc., the creator of the award-winning nabi® tablet — the world–s first Android tablet built just for kids — and the foremost innovator of technology for kids and their families has announced that its highly anticipated and will hit retail stores now. Redefining the tablet industry by ushering in a new larger format category, the nabi Big Tab HD 20″ and 24″ represent the world–s biggest Android tablets and are designed as collaborative devices intended for kids and families to play together, create together and experience story time and media together. Upon their unveiling this past August, the nabi Big Tab HD line captured global media attention, being hailed as an impressive innovation in the tablet space. The Wall Street Journal proclaimed, “Two little thumbs up for one big tablet…with the Big Tab, Fuhu found a way to differentiate from the iPads, Kindle Fires and Samsung Galaxy Tabs that dominate the tablet industry,” while Mashable cited, “We checked out the Big Tab and came away pretty impressed.”
While traditional tablets often put individual family members in different corners of the home as they engage in isolated, individual experiences, the Big Tab HD line promotes increased social interaction, communication, collaboration, and socialized learning — bringing family members closer through tech. The ideal shared device, the nabi Big Tab HD will be available nationwide at Toys “R” Us, Walmart, and nabishop.com.
Built for shared experiences and engaging families, the nabi Big Tab HD line features a massive display (20″ and 24″) with brilliant HD+ (1600×900) and Full HD (1920×1080) resolution, and a 10-point capacitive touch screen. Its Quad-core, lightning fast NVIDIA® Tegra® 4 processor with 16 GB of on board storage makes Big Tab powerful enough to handle every family–s needs. Its revolutionary lightweight, carrying frame that is easily adjustable to any angle or removed makes it transportable and perfect for co-viewing in multiple angles and a surface/table-top experience for board games and multi-play. nabi Big Tab HD also has a built-in short-term battery that makes room-to-room portability easy.
