Unfortunately, there are too many drawbacks to the Meep to make it worth Junior's while. Editors' Note: During our testing, the Meep loaded Web pages very slowly; Oregon Scientific told us this was a result of content filtering, and that a software update, due in the coming weeks, would improve load times.

Design. Oregon Scientific describes the Meep tablet as . The bright orange wrap lends the device a child- friendly air that we like, and it weighs a manageable 1. The Fuhu Nabi 2, which is also designed for children's small hands, measures a slightly larger 8.

The Kindle Fire HD, by comparison, weighs 1. The front of the Meep houses a 0.

The bottom edge houses a series of ports for headphones, a plug- in microphone, a 5. V DC power plug, as well as mini. USB and mini. HDMI ports. On the top sides of the back, you'll find dual, flowerlike speakers. A power switch sits on the top edge of the tablet, the only physical button on the Meep.

We would have appreciated volume buttons. MORE: Best Tablets 2. Sadly, the plastic frame of the Meep, which is intended to be held in landscape mode, felt flimsy. In fact, the smallest amount of pressure on the back of the tablet caused the screen to distort with a fingerprint- shaped oil slick. With its bumper attached, kids still have access to all the buttons and ports, except the micro. SD card on the left side.

Display. The 7- inch display on the Meep offers a fuzzy low resolution of 8. The $1. 79 Nabi 2, by comparison, has a 1. ASUS Memo Pad HD 7 (not for kids) offers 1.

With a brightness of 3. Meep's display tops the category average (3. Nabi 2 (1. 62 lux). However, the screen itself was a magnet for fingerprints, quickly becoming smeared. A 7. 20p trailer for .

Similarly, a clip of . Also, color and clarity distorted at very narrow viewing angles. Rather than using a capacitive display, the Meep has an infrared z. Force touch screen. This is the same technology that powers the black and white E- Ink Sony Reader Touch, but on the Meep's color screen, a rainbow- colored trail followed the wake of our finger.

Oregon Scientific says the optical interface responds better to a lighter touch. When we did that, we didn't see the oil slicklike distortion, but we don't know many 6- year- olds with a feather- light touch. Also, we often found the display slow to respond, repeatedly stalling for seconds at a time. MORE: 2. 5 of the Best Free Apps for Android Tablets. Audio. Dual speakers with flower- patterned grilles sit on the top left and right corners of the Meep's back. When you turn the volume all the way up, a notification appears in the bottom right drawer warning you that the volume is too high and could be damaging your ears. With headphones plugged in, that could be true, but music through the speakers was soft and hollow even at the max setting.

James Blunt's . On the Meep, we measured the output of the speakers at 8. B, which is less than the 8. B level average for tablets. Interface. The Meep tablet is built on Android 4.

But the Meep interface overlay is so significantly different, it only offers a few holdovers from Android. What the Meep does retain are back and home buttons on the bottom left of the screen, and notifications, clock, battery life and access to quick settings on the right.

The keyboard is the standard old Android keyboard with small gray squares on a black background. Voice typing is an option, which we found to be fairly accurate. Everything else about the interface is unique to the Meep. The home screen features two buttons that pop out of the sides of the screen. On the left is a circle with people icons in it.

This is exclusively used for the Communicator feature, which parents must set up for a child through an online portal. If you tap this button before the Communicator is set up, you'll get an error message prompting kids to bug their parents. Tap the circle again to go back to the main screen.

Tapping this button pops out a round menu of icons for various features: E- Books, Camera, Meep Store, Help, Safety, Parental Settings, Settings, Apps, You. Tube, Web Browser, Pictures, Music, Videos and Games.

Kids can populate the E- Books, Music, Videos and Games sections by purchasing media through the Meep Store. However, kids must be allocated virtual coins by their parents before they can make a purchase. One virtual coin equals one penny. The odd Safety section is a series of 2. These tips include platitudes such as . However, we question the fine motor control required to spin the wheels of apps.

We often spun the wheel past the icon we wanted or accidentally tapped the wrong icon. Parental Controls. In the Meep's Parental Settings panel, you can set time limits for apps, games, movies, music, e- books, pictures, Web surfing and You. Tube watching. Time settings go from blocked to 1.

You can also toggle Communicator on and off, but you must first activate this feature through the online portal (more on that later). Other settings include enabling in- app purchases and access to the Meep store. Meep Store access can be set to blocked, approval needed or full access. Under Internet Security is a toggle for Suggested Websites Only. Here, you can add to Oregon Scientific's whitelist of approved websites, but you can't delete any from the preapproved list.

If you tap the three- line menu button on the top left, you open another set of options that let you set your photo, name, gender and address as the Meep Boss, which is what Oregon Scientific calls the parental account holder.

Your only options are Low or High. Under both settings, Meep filters bad words in all categories (there's no way to edit or see the list of bad words). Under High, your child can only access URL or You. Tube suggestion lists. Low offers greater access to the Web Browser and You. Tube, but there is still a blacklist, managed by Oregon Scientific, that protects kids from potentially harmful sites. Communicator. Oregon Scientific offers a unique instant messaging- style program for the Meep called Communicator; this allows kids to message their parents, as long as the parents are logged into the Web portal.

They can also chat with friends who also have Meep tablets. To make Communicator work, you must go through the portal at portal. When you click to verify that you are an adult, you're given two options; Credit Card Verification and Customer Support Verification. Credit Card Verification will cost you $1, which gets converted into 1. Meep Store. Customer Support Verification presents you with an 8. PST, Monday through Friday. We went the credit card route, which worked well.

We tested the Communicator by attempting to send Parents a message. When we hit Send, we got this error message, despite the message not containing anything improper: . Please don't type any improper content while chatting with your friends! Instead, we went with . This is another interesting way to keep track of exactly who your child is chatting with online. However, this process is time- intensive for the parents.
