VTech's kid-friendly slab may not sport Google's dessert-themed OS, but it does carry a lower sticker price than its Android-based competitors. The InnoTab 2 Learning App Tablet keeps its predecessor's $80 price tag while packing in 2GB of onboard storage (expandable up to 32GB with an SD card) and a rotating camera for taking stills, videos and playing AR games. The slate's vanilla configuration will hit shelves this fall, but a WiFi-equipped version can be had this holiday season for a $20 premium. The MobiGo 2 Touch Learning System is set to roll out this summer in a similar fashion, retaining a $60 asking price despite adding a motion sensor and microphone to its repertoire. Saunter on past the break for the press release.
