Nabi has announced the Nabi 2 tablet, powered by a quad-core Tegra 3 chipset and running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, set for release on October 22nd for £149, making it the fastest tablet ever made specially for kids.
Clad in a solid-looking protective case, the Nabi 2 will come packed with educational software, while the AppZone will offer more than 500 “Mum-Selected, Kid-Approved” apps.

The Nabi 2 is quite a feature-packed Android tablet that a kid would love and would make for a good Christmas present for sure, by which time its price will probably have dropped quite a bit.
