The tablet has Wi-Fi connectivity  and a battery back of up of 4 hours. The tablet can be operated in two modes - ‘Appstar’ mode for kids and ‘parent’ mode which is the normal Android screen mode. The two can easily be switched through the parental control. “The Appstar has secured password protected parental control built-in to the software to ensure time control and firewalled Internet browsing for kids,” Singh said. The company also plans to create full ecosystem for kids’ tablets with Fun Karaoke, Speaker dock, Racing Car, Helicopter and accessory pack during the X-mas time, the statement said. PTI
