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.
