It’s the first tablet to arrive with a glasses-free 3D display. The 8-inch screen on the WikiPad comes with a detailed resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and it plays back 2D and 3D video and images. Another great thing about the WikiPad is the fact that it runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, so you don’t have to worry about getting a non up-to-date device. The tablet sports 8 gigs of internal memory, but those could be expanded with microSD cards of up to 64GB. That’s also worth a special mention as most devices we’ve seen support microSD cards of not more than 32 gigs. Looking at the essence of the WikiPad, you’d have to look at that gamepad that it docks into and you can instantly tell – this tablet is serious about gaming. There’s two analog sticks, a d-pad and four buttons for your gaming pleasure. In addition, an HDMI-out port allows you to beam what’s playing on the tablet on a larger TV screen or a monitor.

 

  • OLPC XO 3.0

 

The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) foundation has long tried to bring very affordable and functional computing to kids. The 8-inch slate is not only a budget offering at $100 – it also promises smooth operations. The tablet also has a waterproof rubberized back and a waterproof cover is also available protecting the XO 3.0’s ports and display. Now, spec-wise don’t expect wonders – there’s a Marvell Armada PXA618 chip under the hood, 512MB of RAM and 4 gigs internal storage. When it comes to ports, though, the XO 3.0 is well equipped – standard USB, microUSB, audio in/out, sensor input are all present. The tablet is expected to come with either Android or OLPC’s own Sugar mobile operating system, and in either case you should expect plenty of educational and fun apps for children.
