    It may look like Samsung's Halloween-themed tablet, what with the yellow frame and orange bumper, but those candy corn colors just mean this Galaxy Tab 3's made for kids. The 7-inch slate is a repackaged take on the Tab 3 we saw released earlier this year, with its 1,024 x 600 display and dual-core innards. But specs aren't the focus here -- it's all about the kid-friendly value adds. This could perhaps be one case where Samsung's glut of preloaded content could be considered a good thing, as this Tab 3 comes filled with edutainment and entertainment apps, a special UI, as well as a Kids' Mode for parental controls over content and internet access. Parents looking for another babysitter (beyond the TV and Wii and smartphone and whatever else kids stay glued to these days) can pre-order the slate for $230 on November 1st. Those of you that prefer to do your shopping in the real world will have to wait until the November 10th to pick it up in store at select retailers.

    It peeked its head out just a day ago by way of a Korean back-to-school catalog, and now Samsung's ready to let its kid-friendly cat out of the bag. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is, as the name implies, aimed at ever more tech savvy young ones, featuring a child-friendly skinned Android 4.1 and a slew of educational apps, games, e-books and the like -- in fact, the more we hear about it, the more we think of the XO Tablet. Over on the hardware side, there's a seven-inch 1024 x 600 display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, front and rear facing cameras and 8GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. It's also got a rugged frame for clumsy little hands. The Tab is coming to Korea next month, with availability following in the US, UK, Europe, China and Africa. No word yet on pricing.

    We're no experts in Korean back-to-school literature, but it looks as if one retailer has tipped Samsung's plans a little early. If the documents above are legitimate, then the company will launch a kiddie-focused Galaxy Tab in short order. The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is said to be an 8.5-inch slate with a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, a 1,024 x 600 WSVGA display, 8GB storage, 1GB RAM and Jelly Bean. The company has also seen fit to include 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, a microSD card slot (no word on capacity) and a 4,000mAh battery. One thing that lends weight to the listing is that the device's model number is SM-T2105, which evleaks tersely described as a "Galaxy Tab for children" a month ago. There's more pictures over at the source, but not a single spec saying that this new device is resistant to jam-smeared fingers.
