Kurio Xtreme
© 2014 Techno Source
This is the 2014 edition of the 7 inch Kurio Tablet, called Kurio Xtreme. Headlines include a faster Intel Atom processor (Android 4.4), Google certification, and a set of ten motion recognition games, called Body Motion Gaming, that incorporate your body movements into the game. You can enter a swimming race by air swimming, for example. Past versions of the Kurio have scored well considering parental controls and preloaded app selection. The Google Play certification means a lot, because parents will have the ability to update this device with many mainstream apps. The browser offers the "Kurio Genius Filtering System" and the parental controls let you set a timer, allow or block apps and so on. Kurio promises pre-loaded versions of Fruit Ninga, Jetpack Joyride, Subway Surfer and Cut the Rope 2; playing up the potential of this device for gaming. Other features include font and rear facing cameras, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, dual speakers and an integrated Mic. Kurio has curiously also announced a partnership with Common Sense Media offering two pre-loaded Common Sense apps (Digital Passport and an app selector). So now we have to wonder how Common Sense Media will rate Kurio Xtreme.
