E2 8 Inch Kids Tablet - Blue

Got this for my girlfriend's 5 yo grandson for xmas. It is permanently attached to him and he has mastered using it and it's very educational too. 5 stars!

The device works perfectly and the seller was very helpful in address a login issue.

I bought this for my kids 8, 10, and 1 year old. In terms of hardware, it had the largest screen in the "kids" category -- 8" instead of the standard 7". All of the other specs were the same as the other tablets in this category we were looking at: 2mp camera, 8GB internal memory (expandable with SD card), Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.In terms of installation, the check boxes on the installation website are a pain to click. They are too small even for my petite fingers. Although, I had the screen in the portrait position, so it might be different in landscape. Once you create an account through the tablet, you can just log in through a regular computer to change the settings in the future. So that is annoying (not a deal breaker, although it felt like it during the installation).There is one setting during setup that allows all searches to return Wikipedia as a "child safety feature". Basically, the tabeo is prepending "site:wikipedia.org" in front of all searches -- standard Google feature. The concept I agree with, but I would never put Wikipedia and Child safety into the same category. Tabeo should allow a user to set the "default" website. For example, I personally would pay the subscription for World Book or Brittanica and use that feature for one of those sites, because those sites have editorial staff and "questionable" topics return what one would expect from a middle school textbook. Wikipedia shows actual photographs, which I would not consider acceptable for children. But that is a software issue, not a hardware issue.I have not fully tested the internet filtering. We setup "opendns", so we have basic protections throughout our whole Wifi at home.The default "bookmarks" for chrome (the browser pre-installed) are all grown up bookmarks (MSNBC and other similar websites). I would have expected to see sites like Disney, PBSKIDS, etc. But again, that is an annoying software issue, not a hardware issue.I agree with the others. Install "Amazon App" (from a standard download from Amazon) which will allow the downloading of more apps. Once that is installed, you can install the Netflix App (http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android)This tablet is a toys-r-us product. The toys-r-us sales people are given a "test" about this device, so they can answer customer questions, but I don't think they were ever given a tabeo to play with. The sales person did not know anything about installing Amazon Apps. He thought it was not possible, but if a parent allows downloads and installs the Amazon download app, it is possible. Also, the covers that toys-r-us sells are marked as being for a Tabeo e2, but they only fit the 7" Tabeo. I ended up buying a cover from Walmart that is marked as being for a 9"-10".

First off I have to say that the Tabeo E2 looks really nice and is packaged very well. I bought two Tabeo E2 tablets, a blue one for my son and a pink one for my daughter for Christmas at my local Toys R Us Store. Unlike other reviewers that state that they cannot set up their parental controls I was able to setup the parental controls without difficulty. However that is when the problems started. The parental control blocked EVERYTHING (even the pre-loaded apps) on the Blue Tabeo. I made some adjustments to the filter by allowing everything except for porn and violence and tried playing the games again with no luck. I got frustrated and tried to set up the parental controls on the Pink Tabeo. I was able to set up parental controls but as soon as I opened certain apps like My Little Pony that came pre-loaded it would crash and the tablet would restart (it seems to take forever for these tablets to load after being turned on or restarting). I tried contacting customer support on the tablet and the Mobile Parental Filter took me to the home screen with a message that said APP BLOCKED: check parental filters on Mobile Parental Filter on left corner of the screen. I tried to tap the mobile parental filter on the screen as it said to do and nothing ever happened. I used the Blue Tabeo to try to contact customer support and I got through and typed my message in. No joke I waited for 52 minutes for someone to respond telling me that the network is down and try to be patient. While I was waiting all that time for that very helpful response I used the Pink Tabeo to go back to the Parental Control site online and unchecked EVERYTHING. I took off all filters just to see if the tablet would respond better to the apps without the parental filter on. I had no such luck.Their App store was pretty disappointing as well. I was able to install some games from the app store and they would work on the Pink Tabeo sometimes. Another issue with the app store that I had is the fact that the games available are not very popular and most of the apps that have reviews are very low but no comments are available to read. I was never able to download the Amazon App store like the Toys R Us Tabeo E2 Q&A section says that I should have been able to. The parental filter blocked me from downloading it. I spent about 3 hours Christmas Eve trying to set these tablets up and they were a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. When I took them back to the store the lady behind the counter actually told me she is tired of the Tabeo E2 because LOTS of people were returning them. When I looked behind her on the shelves beneath the counter there were about 20 Tabeos that had been returned just that morning. Like I said in the beginning, they are really nice visually to look at, but when you go to actually use them they are a junk.
