LEARNING LODGE VTECH INNOTAB 3 TV

The VTech InnoTab 3S puts its speaker to good use by dictating the names of apps a user selects or audibly pronounces directions.

We also appreciated the captivating visualizer that VTech uses as the backdrop for the music player. Audio sounded clear and crisp, with no hints of shallow or distorted tones. When blasting 'Flashing Lights' by Kanye West, we felt the deep thump of the bass and enjoyed the complementary tones of the high-pitched synthesizers. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the InnoTab 3S' front-mounted speaker. Text also appeared fuzzy and blurry on the InnoTab 3S' display when we were reading.

When we tilted the tablet slightly to the side or lay it on a table and viewed it from farther back in our seat, the TV show was barely visible. While 'SpongeBob SquarePants' played without lag on the VTech InnoTab 3S, viewing angles were poor. During our light-meter reading, the slate registered only 149 lux, which is far below the 368 category average for tablets, as well as the nabi Jr.'s 242 lux. The InnoTab's 480 x 272-pixel display is fine for watching cartoons, but it certainly doesn't get very bright.

While we had to firmly press on the display to select apps and made frequent typos when using the keyboard, we tapped and dragged the stylus across the display to type and navigate the UI with ease.
