A Tale of Two Tablets

By Brian Nadel @ http://blogs.scholastic.com
Android tablets come in all shapes and sizes these days, but none are quite like Vinci's Tab line. With 5- and 7- models, there's a slate for every early-education classroom and subject, but with the difference that only well-thought out hardware and software can make. ...Read More

Should You Use A Tablet For Homeschooling?

By Kelly @ makobiscribe.com
I have been home schooling for almost 3 years now and it was a great decision. My son has autism and he began to have problems with school at the end of his 3rd year. Our occupational therapist told us to expect to start seeing issues around the 4th grade, so we were right on target. Henry had difficulty working with so many kids in one room along with the noises and distractions in the classroom. In the summer before 4th grade was to start, my husband and I decided to give home schooling a try. ...Read More

Vinci Tab MV 5" Tablet & Phone Combo Review and Ratings

By William Harrel @ computershopper.com
A Combined smartphone, tablet, and childhood learning device, the Vinci Tab MV is pokier than recent Android tablets, but its dual-SIM support and access to Vinci's curriculum make it a winner for parents, day-care providers, and schools sold on the good-but-pricey content. ...Read More

VINCI Tab III M 5” Learning Tablet {Review - Part I}

By admin @ raveandreview.com
I love teaching my daughter new things and watching her eyes light up with each newfound piece of knowledge. Nothing can beat the feeling of watching her process something complex or advanced for her age and seeing the puzzle pieces slowly come together as she gets the concept fully. Unfortunately for us, I am vastly under qualified to teach her anything curriculum based and I must rely on others to teach her the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic and science. ...Read More

Vinci Tablet

By The IE Mommy @ theiemommy.com
Over the past few weeks I have spent a lot of time with my kids playing the games on the Vinci Tablet and observing their educational value. (Check out my first review on the tablet here.) I am still amazed at how educational and targeted at learning these games truly are! I have another tablet for kids by another brand (that shall remain nameless) whose games are also supposed to be educational but they don’t even come close to what Vinci has to offer. When they say it's educational, it’s quite literal. It really puts all others to shame. ...Read More

VINCI Early Learning System Tablet

By admin @ thanksmailcarrier.com
From the first day that I took my iPad out of the box, I had no plans for it to end up being a child's toy. Same thought for my iPhone. We're talking (not cheap) technology that, while great for entertainment, can be pretty non-educational. Besides, did my kids really need another screen to stare at? ...Read More

Vinci Touchscreen Learning Tablet

By The IE Mommy @ theiemommy.com
The moment I got my first iPhone I knew I was in trouble! My kids took it to play games on at every opportunity. Next they took over my Kindle Fire and they are more adept then I am at using both at just three and four years old! My kids love anything touchscreen so the Vinci learning tablet is perfect for them and I am thrilled to finally have something that is just for them, and not just so I can get my stuff back! ...Read More

Vinci Tab III M

By admin @ pcmag.com
Eugene Kim of PCMag.com has posted his review of the VINCI Tab III M, presenting the device with an editor rating of Good. He writes: "As far as content goes, Vinci's original apps are very polished compared with those of competitors. The apps are almost all educational, teaching skills through voice prompts and touch interaction....Where other kid-friendly models preload a bunch of games and entertainment-focused content, the Vinci is decidedly focused on educating children, which many parents will likely prefer. Amazon doesn't include any educational content, while Fuhu includes some decent educational content, but it's not quite as polished as Vinci's. ...Read More

Vinci Tablet Review

By Nicole @ momtrends.com
This month we've been testing the VINCI Tablet II 7" Learning Tablet for Children 1.5 to 9 yrs old. Since my girls are 5 and 7 we fall right in the sweet spot. Here’s what you should know: I am not a tech writer. In fact, we don’t own a television and tend to be tech-light other than my home office needs. I would never plunk down $600 for an iPad for the kids to break. When this tablet pitch arrived in my inbox I was intrigued. It was well-priced, sturdy and seemed to offer a lot of variety. ...Read More

By ajb30 @ babygeartoday.com
I am always on the lookout for fun and educational items that interest my girls, and let me tell you they are pretty hard to please. It seems like they bore with most items pretty quick, so if an item keeps there attention for longer than 10 minutes I am ecstatic. I was so grateful to be able to review the amazing VINCI tablet for you all today. ...Read More

CES 2013: Vinci adds smart-phone-like Tab MV to its educational-gadget lineup

By Shane Schick @ consumerreports.org
You've probably handed your tablet or smart phone to your children to entertain them more times than you'd care to think about. But what if you could give your kids a tablet or phone of their own that actually helps them learn, following a real educational curriculum? That's what Vinci has in mind with its new Vinci Tab MV. ...Read More

Don't Let a Kids' Tablet Take the Parent Out of the Equation

By @ www.wirelessweek.com
It's already happened so many times that the shock has completely worn off. But that doesn't mean my jaw didn't drop the first time I saw my daughter, who's three now, pushing her finger against a magazine page as if it would interact with her when she did. She's done the same thing with books and photos as well as my computer screen and our TV screen, much to my dismay. Hopefully some psychologist is at work at a better name for it, but for argument's sake, I'll call it touch-screen syndrome. ...Read More

Vinci Android Tablet for Kids

By Ryan Carlson @ wired.com
As tablet technology has become mainstream it was inevitable that manufacturers of educational toys would embrace this technology and do more than just create apps. Not every parent is willing to entrust their young kids with their expensive tablet computer. In fact, most parents (myself included) will watch on in horror as their kids run across the living room with an iPad to the chorus line, "no running with the iPad!" ...Read More

VINCI Tab II Touch Screen Learning Tablet Review

By Amanda Rock @ About.com
If you have any type of tablet at home, chances are your preschooler is drawn to it. With all the apps geared at children for such devices, it seems only natural. But some parents (understandably) don't want to turn over their expensive, delicate device to their little one. A good option instead is to buy a tablet geared specifically at young children. The VINCI Tab II Touch Screen Learning Tablet is one such gadget. ...Read More

Educational Toys for Toddlers

By Dresden @ creatingmotherhood.com
Three and a half is a sponge age. W has always had amazing ears for picking up words and phrases and right now I am really hearing myself and Lolly in his vocabulary. When he drops a fork he exclaims, “good grief!” When he is expressing empathy he now says, “that’s ok, sweetheart”. ...Read More

Kids and Moms and Tech Part I: The Reverse Titanic Syndrome

By Robin Raskin - Founder, Living in Digital Times @ huffingtonpost.com
As the Titanic was sinking, it was kids and women into the lifeboats first, but in the high tech world, kids and women are often back-burner-ed while guys get their gadget fixes daily. Each year at the International CES, we play contrarian by hosting the Kids@Play and MommyTech Summits, a series of exhibits and conferences that look at the other 70 percent (moms and kids) and how they use gear and gadgets differently than most of the engineers who create them. This year will be no exception. ...Read More

Even More Toys Your Kids Will Love This Holiday Season

By coloradomoms.com
Before the Holidays I told you about Vinci Genius, the tablet for little ones with a built in curriculum. This tablet has been Brady’s go-to toy this season. He even reaches for this over his iPad! The size, easy handles and apps really make it so kids are drawn to it. When Brady plays with it, he’s mostly interested in the videos. Especially the ones the animated baby is singing in. You can watch these songs free online or download them to your Vinci Tablet. Brady’s top two favorites? Wheels on the Bus and Row Your Boat. ...Read More

Vinci Touchscreen Learning Tablet for Toddlers & Preschoolers

By Rachel Ferrucci @ rachelferrucci.com
Let's face it, kids today can turn on a computer and they know how to use it at age five. Toddlers now have electronic toys that teach them their colors, shapes, tells them stories, sings music, and everything else you can imagine. The problem is most of these gadgets don't allow you to add to them. They’re usually very limited. ...Read More

VINCI, Inspire the Genius!

By Role Mommy Contributor, Danielle Feigenbaum @rolemommy.com
Call me old fashioned, but I would rather see my kids playing with their Legos, reading or doing an art project, than playing on on a technical device. I do my best to limit the time on their iTouch, the Wii and even watching TV, which is not easy in this day and age. Even though they tell me they are playing an "educational" game, I know that Angry Birds will usually win out. Recently, I was lucky enough to receive the VINCI Tab, a tech device that I actually felt really good about giving to my five year old son. ...Read More

Holiday Gift Idea For Kids: Vinci Early Learning System Tablet Review

By Tired Mom Tésa @ 2wired2tired.com
Dave has had a smartphone since Kora and Logan were toddlers. He didn’t let them play with it much back then but on occasion he would download a toddler friendly app and in minutes they were swiping, pinching, and using the touchscreen to play simple games. As they’ve grown, touchscreens and tablets have become a part of their lives. While we have found a number of great apps for our tablet I’m always interested in learning more about tech & gadgets targeted toward children. ...Read More

Smarter children with a tablet

By Tony Liaw @ thestandard.com.hk

VINCI – Inspire the Genius

By admin @ babyelandaily.com
Smart phones are as close as this family has gotten to “a tablet”. We have the ereaders, the music players, the laptops, lots of apps, and semi modern technology to keep us busy from the toddler to the husband…yet never ventured into the world of tablets, either Mac or Android or beyond.

6 tips for traveling with toddlers

By Kelly Burgess @ consumersearch.com
Remember when one airline's slogan was "Fly the Friendly Skies?" Not anymore. Flying with young kids has become a full contact sport, with more airlines canceling priority boarding for families with small children, putting weight limits on gate-checking strollers, and parents being forced to pay a premium to actually sit with their kids. Add to those headaches the task of keeping a toddler happy, quiet and safe as they're forced into immobility by the rules of either the road or the airline. ...Read More
