Motorola Xoom Family Edition Arriving In Stores – Kid Friendly Software Included
The Motorola Xoom “Family Edition” (MZ505) has just shown up in a few leaked images as it arrives at retail stores. While the device isn’t quite available just yet, we do have an idea of what to expect from the family friendly tablet once it’s arrives on store shelves.
First and foremost is this new “Family Edition” branding that is setting it apart from the current (and upcoming) Xooms. This tablet will come bundled with Zoodles edutainment software, giving the device the ability to run in family friendly “Kid Mode” for passing along to your children. This gives parents the peace of mind that their kids wont be visiting any sites that have anything to do with “1 cup” or emailing colleagues with a bunch of gibberish. A nice amount of Zoodles software will come preloaded (around $40 worth) for keeping your kids busy and educating them on everything from their ABC’s to developing their own Android apps (not that last part).
While pricing has yet to be revealed, you can expect this device to be the more “affordable” out of the new Xoom line of tablets from Motorola. I mean, c’mon — I don’t think your kids care about quad-core processors or IPS displays. Just, “More Dora!” As far as availability goes, something tells me we can expect the Xoom Family Edition will be released in a few short weeks.
