The VTech InnoTab was among the most wanted toys of Christmas 2011 and just a few days into 2012 an updated version is being marketed to retailers in the toy industry’s trade press.
A full page advert for the new InnoTab has appeared in the February edition of Toy News. As well as sporting a more refined appearance, the new iPad-like tablet computer for children will feature a microphone and a camera with a lens can be twisted to face towards or away from the user that’s viewing the screen.
This twistable camera lens is similar in principle to the kind found on the current VTech Kidizoom Twist digital camera (also known as Spin & Smile in some countries). The new InnoTab’s camera is expected to be capable of taking pictures at 1.3 mega pixel resolution and will also be able to film movie video clips.
Not only will the new built in microphone be used for recording audio to go with moving images, it will also be used in gameplay where specially designed apps allow it.
New picture and sound editing software, with fun features including, will also come built-in on the the new InnoTab.
