Do you want or need to spend more quality time with your kids
but can't figure out how.
And these days kids want cool technology and exciting
involvement with their digital devices.
Yet the high costs of those devices restricts many parents
from being able to purchase and then share high tech
quality time with their kids.
Well moms and dads we've got good news for you.
Back for her second visit is Elizabeth Little, Director of
Marketing for iRULU Technology to tell us more.
Elizabeth, great to have you back in the studio.
Thanks for having me.
It's great to be here.
You know, you got to help me out here.
I have two girls and um you know, I want to know things that
help me bring technology involve me in their technology and what
I can do to be more present with them when they're on so many of
their mobile devices.
Well Julie as you know kids are absolutely captivated by
technology and it really holds their attention and what this
does is creates the perfect opportunity for you as parent to
spend time bonding and interacting with your kids.
They can be used for doing things like helping your kids do
your homework and reinforce what's being learned in school.
You can use the tablets and smart phones to inspire their
creative side and you can even do things that are purely fun.
You know Elizabeth, a recent survey says that the average
family spends less then eight hours together a week and
quality time is even less.
Like 30 minutes.
What is going to help get more technology into the hands of
parents so they can increase their quality time
with their kids.
At iRULU we're doing everything we can to make that happen an we
believe that three things need to happen.
First, the technology needs to be affordable for families.
Our average tablet sells for 50 dollars.
Secondly, technology needs to be durable and reliable and we
build that into every product we make and then lastly the product
needs to be easy and intuitive to use.
I'm amazed that you just said 50 dollars for a tablet.
Yes, your absolutely right and we're so happy to be able to do
this Julie for our customers.
We have a low cost business model that allows us to pass a
cost benefit onto our consumers thru better pricing.
So I brought a range of tablets and smart phones to show you
today and we have options for kids of every age.
And what they all have in common is an intuitive and highly
responsive touch screen.
They all have front and rear cameras with flash and auto
focus and they connect to your internet via wi-fi.
Wow.
These do everything that you would expect from today's
hottest technology from being able to surf the web to using
apps to playing games and watching video content.
So the first Julie is the Baby Pad and this was developed
specifically with kids in mind.
It sells for about $60.
It's made with non toxic materials and food grade
silicone.
It has soft rails and rubberized bumpers and this prevents
injuries and scratch furniture and kids love it because it has
a colorful interactive interface that contains all the activities
that they like to do.
Parent's love it because it has parent mode that allows them to
limit what apps go on the device as well as limit usage time.
The next is the XPro X1 and the XPro sells for 50 dollars.
It's our top selling tablet and this little device does
absolutely everything that you would expect.
Its' seven inch screen size is perfect for small hands and it's
light and portable so it's fits easily in a backpack.
It's tiny but it's mighty.
It's got a powerful quad core processor and this is great for
running apps as well as playing games.
IT makes it the perfect option for games or educational
content.
Wonderful.
And then I've got some of our smart phones.
This is the Universe and this is the Victory.
And our smart phones retail for 99 to 129 dollars.
Great.
As you can see they've got large screens and all the built in
functionality that you could possibly want.
They're sleek, stylish and light weight indesign.
And tell me about the apps that are out there and how can those
help improve parents and kids having time together.
Well Julie all of these devices work with Android technology and
that interfaces with the Google PLay store where you'll find one
million aps and over three hundred thousand of them are
rank for children and they're all sorts of apps wether they be
for math, learning to read, teach the ABC's or colors.
The options are absolutely endless.
