Netpal: A Netbook For Kids
This may be the ultimate display of how connected we really are. Asus, the company known now for their netbooks, has teamed up with Disney (famous for princess’) to produce the Netpal.
It’s a netbook especially designed with kids in mind, with a fairly robust feature set that will make both children and parents happy.
It comes preloaded with Disney goodies, ranging from programs (apps like Vista’s sidebar or Mac’s taskbar) to pre-programmed kid friendly websites from Disney.
Developed with parents and kids in mind, the Disney Netpal has a reinforced mechanical design and, naturally, a Disney user interface. In addition to “more th
an 40 robust parental control options,” the Netpal sports an 8.9-in. LCD display, Wi-Fi, Windows XP Home and kid-friendly software featuring Disney characters.
It also comes set up in a way so kid’s won’t be able to see anything that is potentially not so hot for them, with email filters,and parental controls. Which is a really good idea if kids are the intended audience. They are all pre-programmed into the netbook, so there isn’t much messing with it that will need to be done.
The pricetag is about the same as the companies popular Eee PC at around $349.99.
