Wikipad.
Say ‘hello’ to the new tablet, the Wikipad, it will wow your socks off for sure!
The Wikipad is a new Android tablet that really does it all. I have 3 children and they have not touched our previous 7” tablets from this entered the house. Built for optimum gaming, this tablet has a detachable gaming controller so it is perfect for ‘mum’ to take out and about, and also the most amazing tablet for children who enjoy gaming.
The gaming experience the Wikipad has to offer has to be tried to be believed. Connecting via micro USB, this tablet is super fast and has the added bonus of automatically updating to the latest OS in weeks.
My children all use the Wikipad. The controls are designed expertly and are as easily used in the hands of my 4 year old as well as my 10 year old. The controller’s U shape makes for very easy gaming especially with the likes of driving and shooting games, which would not be as easily played on other basic 7” tablets which are limited with a just a touchscreen.
With Google Play, Tegra Zone and PlayStation Mobile apps the list of games available is almost endless, not to mention the 60+ games already on the Wikipad! My children think they are in heaven!! The pre-loaded games suit all tastes, even Dad – Hockey Nation, Shadow Gun and Dead Zone to name but a few.
Aside from suiting children, this tablet has a lot to offer the entire family. For example, Google Play for music, and with the 16GB memory a host of fun can be stored on the Wikipad. Further storage can be added via the SD slot. I have to mention the 7” screen in further detail it is so great – the 7” screen is a WIDE screen. No more watching movies with that horrible black bar and cropped picture! We can even connect the Wikipad to the TV via the HDMI port.
Could this tablet get any better? Do you SKYPE? The Wikipad has a built in microphone and a front facing camera – SKYPING is simple and so easy. No more wasting time setting up extra equipment around the computer to speak to family across the water. We SKYPE regularly now and brag about our Wikipad while SKYPING!
I am left with one problem to report with this tablet – one Wikipad is not going to be enough! You will love the Wikipad and so will your children. I know it will take the place of most other tablets on the market. I have never used such an advanced device that also offers solutions to the problems encountered while gaming with an ordinary touchscreen tablet.
Get yours now, especially if you would like to have it for Christmas.
The Wikipad was launched in September 2013 and is initially available from Game, Play.com and Smyths. Over the next few months, other retailers will have stock also.
