For parents concerned about the hygiene-centric habits of their children, the Karuma PlayBase Plus might offer a helping hand. Successor to the original PlayBase, the new tab not only keeps tech savvy children engaged, but also shows off some anti-bacterial qualities.
The kid-centric device which claims to be the first one with such anti-bacterial attributes, was dug up by Pocket-lint. Embedded with Silver Seal technology, the gadget in question uses medical grade plastic for its cover.
Laminated with a toughened glass screen, the display is reported to be anti-glare, anti-scratch plus anti-fingerprint. The slate is further secured with a shock absorbent silicone case called PlayCover. Along with offering protection against dirt and water, it also converts into a stand for the tablet, making video viewing more comfortable.
Operating on the Gingerbread platform, the device sports a 7-inch touchscreen which displays visuals in a resolution of 800 x 480p. Furthermore, it has been embedded with a 1.2GHz single core processor as well as 1GB DDR3 RAM. The 8GB of internal storage capacity can be increased by inserting a microSD into the slot integrated within the chassis.
The gadget also boasts of attributes like built in Wi-Fi, accelerometer and stereo speakers. The incorporated battery offers a work life of up to four hours or sixty hours of standby time. What’s more, the use of applications can be monitored by parents by means of the SafePlay system.
The Karuma PlayBase Plus price is revealed to be $229 (approx. Rs. 11,500). It can be grabbed through the official Karuma website.
