Part 1: InnoTab 3 and InnoTab 2 Review

InnoTab 3 and InnoTab 2 Review

InnoTab 3:
VTech have announced the InnoTab 3, a new model for 2013. Last year’s InnoTab 2 model is still a viable choice this year too and there are various bundles available with this tablet. Which tablet should you choose? Look at the below comparion:

The InnoTab 3 is a smaller, lighter kids tablet at an affordable price. The InnoTab 2 and 2S are quite chunky tablets, the InnoTable 3 has reduced the screen size from 5” to 4.3” and scaled down the casing (it’s still tough) this makes it a more portable option.

The InnoTab 3 also has an updated camera at 2MP (vs 1.3MP in order models) this is an important detail. This feature with the smaller size makes the InnoTab 3 a useful kid camera in addition to other features. It also has a added a D-pad controller-physical arrow key buttons- these do make navigation and game play more efficient for some kinds of game.

InnoTab 2:
The InnoTab 2 was last years upgraded model with a faster processor. It has a 5” screen so some will prefer it over the smaller screen of the newer InnoTab 3.

Now that the newer models are available the other main advantage of this model will be if you are price conscious and can find the InnoTab 2 discounted, as part of good value bundle, or even used. It will work with the new titles coming out for the platform.

Although it is rumored that the S5 lists the spec as a 5.2-inch 1080p screen, a Snapdragon 800/Exynos 5 Octa processor, and 2GB of RAM, if we have a quick glance of SamSung Galaxy S4 video format list, it can fully support MP4 video, but not the ISO files, IFO files or some HD videos, as well as Galaxy S5. In other words, if you want to play various 2D/3D Blu-rays, DVDs, ISO/IFO files and 1080p/720p Videos on your Galaxy S5, you need to convert them to Galaxy S5 support format in advance. Pavtube Galaxy S5 Video Converter Ultimate is a good choice.
