Great for kids!
By cay22
It is true that the Nabi does not come with the Android Market installed. The reason for this is Google will not allow them to put the market on because they modified the interface to the kid friendly/safe interface. It is not because they do not want it on there. It is very easy to add, just watch this video: [...]. Also to respond to the update being difficult, they will soon have a much easier update process but they wanted to get the update out quickly to help with some of the issues. I have 3 Nabis (one for each of my 4,6,and 8 yr olds) and have had them since Christmas and I love them. We have had no major issues with freezing or crashes and all of our three original chargers work fine. With any electronic device there will be a few with issues that need replacing or fixing (Go into an apple store and check out the line at their service desk). The customer service is great and you can get a ton of help and advice at their facebook page :[...]
I love our Nabis and I am so confident in the product that I have talked several friends into buying them for their kids!

Not nearly as versitle as advertised
By S. Kaye
Our 3 and 1/2 year old loves playing our smart phones and our tablet computer, so we thought it would be great if we could get him his own kid centric tablet. We were excited that this seemed to be a "full featured" android table. So I got in line at Toys R Us at 5:00AM to get one of the few that were being sold and when I arrived home and opened it up, I was EXTREMELY disappointed to learn it isn't nearly what it advertised.
First, this is not a full featured android tablet. You DO NOT have full access to the android marketplace and many of the apps that our child loves playing on our smartphones (Zoodles for one) are not available and cannot be installed on this device.
Second (and even worse), on the front page of the kid's home page is the "App Store". This is the place where Nabi tries to sell additional apps to you and your kids. Although your kids cannot make purchases without knowing your password, you also CANNOT remove this link from the page, meaning your child will be constantly encouraged to browse for more items they want you to purchase for them.
I wish I could come up with some pros, beyond the fact that I like the "idea" of creating a kid centric tablet. However, the construction didn't seem any better than any other 7" tablet and the lack of versatility was far too much of a drawback. Ultimately we purchased a basic 7" android tablet and created our own kid centric tablet by downloading the apps we wanted and then removing the items we didn't want. It was easy to temporarily remove the "marketplace" link so our child wasn't able to go shopping and wasn't tempted by constantly being asked to shop for more games, yet we can add things whenever we want.
It is a good idea, but it is not worth the money and the designers seemed far more interested in encouraging you to buy more items from their store than truly providing a kid friendly tablet.

Great Tablet! Love It!
By E. Weems
I purchased mine from Toys R Us for 199.99 initally and when it went on sale for 149.99, I was able to get a priced adjustment for the difference. As another reviewer mentioned, it is true you cannot access the Google Android Market as available on android phones and some android tablets. But you can download 1Mobile Market from cnet.com or the Amazon app store. Between the two you have access to the same apps available on the Google version. Some of the paid apps are even cheaper. I have download Zoodles as wells a other educational games and books. Nabi customer service has mentioned they will update their App store and software in future updates. The Nabi facebook page has been a great resource for customers to share ideas and discuss concerns. Nabi customer service has been quick to respond to any questions there, resolve issues, and is very open to customer feedback. I can't complain. I think it was a great value and can't wait to see how future updates will improve the device. I would not pay these marked up prices. They will be back in stock at Toys R Us soon, after Christmas I believe. Overall, I love this tablet and I know my daughter will be thrilled with it on Christmas. I can have my phone back now.
