Customer Review

Presentation

The Storio 3 baby has nice big dune protective shell, making delle a small but particularly plump tablet. In comparison, the plastic frame is so wide that the screen itself seems strangely reduced. The latter has substantially the size of a smartphone with 4.3 inch, resulting in a rectangle of 9.5 cm X 5.5 cm. A large stylus is attached to the help of a rope and clings on the left side of the tablet. There is also a big joystick, a rotating camera to take pictures both washing Quà back of the tablet, and the button to turn it off and lallumer. Just below the screen, cutting the hull allows laccès to 4 buttons: one to return to the menu, the ugly and the other two to adjust the volume.
The back has two circular notches in which it is possible to drag a piece to detach the shell, revealing the true tablet that resembles the Storio 3. This is precisely in this form that you can entrust his toy your child WHEN IT will exceed 3 year period when lon is usually a drop in attacks and the need to throw everything away. Two battery cover dalimenter allow the tablet with 4 LR06 batteries, another can place the backup battery, to not lose the internal data when changing the batteries. It is also possible to get a battery with AC adapter to avoid having to constantly change the batteries. A second pen is available in a slot at the back of the naked tablet. The hull seems to have a little play at the fastening at the back. Nothing too bad since it does not interfere the use, or the strength of protection. However, my fingers instinctively dadulte play with this fragility which some magace. You may say, I am chipoteuse I havent Quà play without the shell ^^. The unit comes with a cartridge containing 3 demonstration, a cable to connect it to a computer and installation CD for lExplora Park, in case your computer you require one.

Native apps

After creating its own session dutilisateur, your child accesses the main menu of the handset which has two screens: the first has 10 icons of applications, and the second which owns 5. Where it touches moon icons, a male voice says the choice of your child so that even do not read, he quickly understands and is guided in navigation. The screen is a "resistive", which makes it takes real support, not just touch the icons to activate them. Moreover, with dun gyroscope, the tablet screen switches to portrait or landscape depending on how it is turned. Here's a little trick dhorizon basic possibilities of Storio:

- Stories: This application is unfortunately empty when starting the device. It is imperative to connect to lexplora Park to feed the content.
- Baby Coloring: 8 coloring pages are available. With the color palette, your child uses their finger or pen to color in predefined areas of images. It can then save her creations in the tablet's memory and find them in The application Photo Album.
- Games: 1 game alone is present in the database. The latter is to discover the animals of the jungle. Lenfant key to the pet that the tablet explains what species it belongs.
- Calendar: Very friendly, this application allows your child to mark events on a monthly calendar by sticking virtual stickers. So it can identify a birthday dinner at grandma, Christmas
Baby creativity: This application is unfortunately empty when starting the device. It is imperative to connect to lexplora Park to feed the content.
- Music: 12 nursery rhymes are stored in the tablet.
- Camera: This icon provides access to the camera to take pictures, but also allows to customize them with frames, special effects, stamps and various fantasies.
- Photo album: This is here that are found photographs and drawings that have been saved.
- Camera: As the device photo, this application accesses the camera for this time of short films.
- Videos: 2 pre-recorded videos are in the machine's memory: it comes to Trotro the cartoon starring a donkey, and Leo and Poli. This is also where that lon can find small films made using the camera.
- Calculator: A simple calculator as those of adults.
- Friends: A rather interesting application that allows your child to create its own directory with information about his surroundings. Thus, it can inform the names, add photo, date of birth, phone, email, the address and the centers of interest of each of his friends, not forgetting about anything.
- Date and Time: This icon provides access to the modifications of the hour and date, but also allows to use a stopwatch.
- Notepad: This application allows, as the name suggests, make a few notes of a keyboard means. For me, this is almost impossible because it comes dun ABCD keyboard and I'm too formatted QWERTY keyboard to be able to use it without thinking about each key ^^
- Options: This section lets you change the user name, photograph, cross docking and the message and the parameters for parents.
Although it comes with a basic content for your child to try it and start playing, you realize that this is quite limited. You will therefore have to quickly connect the toy lExplora Park and / or to buy stores in cartridges of activities (games, books) The ON / OFF button resembles the "MENU" button on the iPad. Therefore, my son thinks he can return to the start screen by pressing this button. And inevitably, it always turns off the shelf. Similarly, when loading screens appear too long, he instinctively used this expeditious method, which loblige to completely restart the tablet and wait more. I tried to explain that this button should not be touched, ipadiens his reflexes are too strong and he finds himself unexpectedly revive his toy. Thus, the idea is to place a small piece of cardboard between the hull and the tablet to block this key story that he lost that ugly habit and takes full advantage of the tablet.

Icons "game cartridge" and "downloads"

These two icons placed at the bottom of each screen, allow, for the first, daccéder the activities of the cartridge that you inserted into the tablet. These cartridges are sold in shops and supermarkets, offer games, licensed for most, but also books Their content is directly accessible via that icon but you will also need to undress completely the tablet of its shell to swap cartridges as with a game console, every time your child will want to change dactivité. The second "Downloads" icon allows it, daccéder to content stored in the internal memory of the tablet or the micro SD. Content that you have previously recovered by browsing lExplora Park.

LExplora Park

Simply connect the Storio the USB port of your computer, the help of the supplied cable, automatic installation and follow on screen. Once the software is installed on your machine, lexplora Park is a true store of applications dedicated to this range of tablets and you have the right to choose and download any of the activities. These are listed by type: ebooks, games, videos (cartoons), music (rhymes, albums). Some game cartridges, usually available in stores, can be downloaded from the store. All this is offered by systematically adding to age group of the children referred, preserving you from unpleasant surprises in your choices. Wave of a sudden, you will certainly recognize the licenses that your child already knows and is particularly fond: for my Technobaby, for example, are the "Tut tut cars," of course, but also "train dino", "Doctor plush" "Trotro" or "Zou zebra." Damage, however, that the price difference between physical cartridge and even downloadable game is not significant. Level content, do not be surprised to find titles of your childhood with, for example, "12 dAstérix work," or, "the triumph of Babar". Also, it covers the baby's music to lado, from nursery rhymes to go up or Shakira One direction!

Verdict

The baby is 3 Storio a nice surprise to do if your baby already sintéresse your high-tech universe. Indeed, its shape and weight are particularly suited to small hands. Unfortunately, if your child is already a regular in the iPad, the transition to this tablet BE risk a little more difficult given that lon pass of a capacitive screen that he simply deffleurer to a resistive frankly it takes support. In addition, the screen is much smaller than usual dune tablet because it is rather the size of a smartphone. However, the interface is quite simple and can navigate freely dune activity to another. Two critics would make about the interface itself: the ability to create multiple user sessions is not really convenient for my son that multiplies, despite himself, profiles instead daccéder his. In addition, the menu button, hidden below the screen is too small when the On / Off button is an invitation for little fingers. Thus, it is more natural to the child instinctively restarting its tablet so that it simply wanted to return to the menu. Also, the hull is really well designed and dune rock solid, perfectly protecting the sides and rear of the tablet. So why not protect the screen? The cut in the hull provides direct access to the touch surface, even without a protective film. And when we know babies criminal ingenuity, not to mention the risk of crachouille, bavouille, morvouille and I will pass all things slimy and disgusting horriblouilles quun child is able to produce and spread on a screen short, while 18 months may possess this tablet, we remain vigilant to the well-being of equipment. Past 3 years, it is not forbidden to leave the shell is still pretty and easy to carry thanks to its large handle. The tablet which hides within a rather elegant appearance. Moreover, with age, this is also the content that senrichit by offering the child-appropriate activities and more and more interesting and interactive. This is therefore a very good gift idea, especially quensuite, it is possible to buy the cartridges in stores or online, and even there are "gift cards" to feed the portfolio lExplora Park and allow the child to choose itself new content to download.

Conclusion

(+) Size and weight ideal for baby, ergonomic shell. Directly download additional content.

(-) Resistive Screen, somewhat long load times. The hull does not protect the screen.
