The touch screen? Resistive type, like the old GPS, or the first Android tablets cheap. Super disappointing.
Height? The tablet is "huge" for better grip by the child will say, but what have done it so big for such a small screen? This is a 4 "display, namely an iPhone 5 in a package the size of four mini iPad to stand one on the other ... ouch!
These details appearance evoked, one might say, and that was my bet with my little 4 year old girl who tested 1/2 with me that this tablet is still great fun, with great embedded applications. Except that from the start, it is the shock. The operating system is a terrible slowness. Each press on the screen to launch a program or leave comes with a spinning wheel, long time, and slowly, like jerky. Programs precisely? This is the bare minimum: the drawing, a game, a story reading lamp (proprietary format), camera, camera, and video player, and basta. Oh yes, you can install, and also buy game cartridges, yes yes. Except that game cartridges, I spent enough time once chasing Nintendo DS game cards for not wanting to start, even if they are larger (and bulky). And for downloading games and .. you need to connect the tablet to a computer, and use a specific program! If so, the only tablet does not communicate. One can imagine that it is a matter of protection of wireless waves, but in the meantime, to add games (paying) must be connected to a PC (or Mac). Epic.
In the end, I told myself, this tablet can be used to play movies in the car, this will be that of the youngest. The tablet has a Micro SD port, stashed in the battery compartment. We must remove the batteries to get the Micro SD card ... so I inserted a card with movies that are usually viewed on an Android tablet to 49 euros .. and .. nothing. In "Videos", not a movie appears. Direction record: the reading light bed H 264 avi format, which is pretty standard, but ... in a recommended resolution of 240x120! The sound? MP3, but 96 kbits! The maximum size of the video? 2 Go! and instructions to recommend software to convert your videos and adapt them to the "Storio 3". And there, I say no.
In the end, my little 4 year old daughter half played 10 minutes. She is so used and reflexes iPad, or even the first Android tablet prices, all clad in games or videos, that this tablet can only disappoint her greatly.
If we add the feed pencil batteries, which he no doubt they will cramées few hours (a power port "old" way portable DVD player, exists), the bit of games on the default tablet, the screen size, the incredible slowness of the system, installing games via computer or using totally obsolete cartridges, looking for what kind of children could feel pleasure to play with.
I have a sure answer: Those whose parents have no Apple and Android tablets, and have never played with with friends, relatives, or in a supermarket in demo, and of course, those parents / friends / relatives do not have either of smartphones they can borrow, knowing that the screen size of this tablet is lower than that of most Android phones, equal to that of an iPhone 5. I'm not talking about the image resolution, ridiculous, and 2 megapixel camera.
Ultimately, it is severe, but I put 2 stars, not to put one of respect for those who have developed this product there a few years ago and are still hoping to sell it, out of respect for those who import and the market, and respect for those who have purchased it and are still happy because they must exist.
In fact, this recommended on the package shelf for 3-9 years, seems perfectly suited for the 12 months-36 months, when you are afraid they type it, the make up! There ok, our play with dad, mom or siblings, and learn about the great tablet later ...;
