Ematic has a wide range of tablets available, some for anyone and some that are intended more for children. While adults more often than not can keep their non-waterproof tablet from getting covered in water, kids aren’t always so good at doing the same. With that in mind, it looks like the folks at Ematic have taken two of their more popular models and began treating them with Liquipel.
The two models include the Genesis Prime and FunTab Pro and according to Ematic, both are now “watersafe” and protected against “accidental spills and other wet encounters.” That having been said, Ematic also mentioned how both models are fully protected. Or in other words, the Liquipel covers the entire tablet including the buttons and open ports.
Aside from being water protected, the FunTab Pro is a 7-inch tablet with Android 4.1 and the Zoodles Kid Mode. Zoodles is a kid-friendly interface that lets the kid do what they need and/or want while at the same time, providing progress reports for the parents. This model also has a bunch of kid-friendly software pre-installed. Some of these include the Art Studio and interactive books as well as games such as Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds.
The Genesis Prime is currently running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and similar to the FunTab Pro, also sporting a 7-inch display. This is a Google certified tablet which means Google services and access to the Play Store. Otherwise, while these are both now water-friendly thanks to the new Liquipel coating — a big selling factor appears to be the prices.
The FunTab Pro is $129.99 and the Genesis Prime is $89.99. Both models are currently available with Walmart.
