Making this possible is Fuhu's exceptional relationships with premier companies like NVIDIA, Dreamworks Animation, Cartoon Network, Cookie Jar Entertainment, Sunburst Digital, and 7digital. The nabi(TM) 2 tablet will be available nationwide in July at Walmart and Best Buy in retail and online for $199.99.

It is coming pre-loaded with only the best and most entertaining, educational and enriching features so when a child turns on his nabi 2 for the first time, his experience is instant," said Jim Mitchell, Fuhu, Inc.'s CEO. "Working with our partners who are each leaders in their respective categories, we are launching a fully loaded tablet that cannot be matched."

Highlights include:

In addition, Fuhu will introduce its own back panel that allows for personalization with proprietary accessories.


"The nabi 2 with Tegra 3 provides a fun experience that kids of all ages will enjoy," said Michael Rayfield, general manager of the Mobile business at NVIDIA. "Videos, games and more come to life with the great performance and long battery life of Tegra 3, making it a perfect fit for the nabi 2."

"The heart of our business is using technology to engage kids in learning at school. That is why we teamed up with nabi 2," said Dan Steinhauser, Director of Media and Software Systems, Sunburst Digital. "It is an ideal way to bring our curriculum home. Millions of children can get a head start on learning with instant access to rigorous academic materials in math, science, English and more. Best of all, nabi 2 is fun to use and our lessons motivate kids for a lifetime of academic success."

In addition to many new features, nabi 2 can also teach children responsibility and making good choices with Chore List and Treasure Box. With Chore List, kids can manage their priorities for the week and keep track of their achievements, which parents can also easily manage, reward and incentivize. Treasure Box is a rewards system allowing children to earn and choose from amazing games, apps, music, video and accessories.

"With this tablet, we will help a child grow in experience, creativity, imagination, education, social interaction, and more," continued Mitchell. "The nabi 2 is going to change the way a child interacts with technology."
