VTech’s new tablet for kids.   The InnoTab 3.   I’m Fred Fishkin with technology BotCamp, a report on gadgets and gear.    It is smaller in size and in price.   VTech has taken a bit of a different approach with the newest version of the InnoTab kids tablet arriving this month.   Marketing Manager Beth Mackey says there are a couple of things that set it apart…

“The portability and the affordability.  It comes with a 4.3 inch color touchscreen.  All of our previous models had a 5 inch touchscreen and because of that it’s also smaller in size, lighter and more compact.  It actually weighs about 3 and a half ounces less than our previous product.”

The InnoTab 3 has an upgraded camera, 2 gigabytes of memory with a card slot for expansion…and the price is under 70 dollars.     There are more than a dozen apps built in and parents can add more through VTech’s Learning Lodge.   Unlike the InnoTab 2S, there is no built in WiFi.   It runs on triple A batteries but there is an optional rechargeable battery pack.   You can find us at BootCamp.com.   I’m Fred Fishkin.
