French educational tech maker Lexibook is bringing its eponymous [kiddy-tablet][3] to the US from next month. It's not talking specs or price, but we're expecting it to be close to the Lexibook First currently available in Europe. The seven-inch slate packs a 600MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 4GB storage (expandable to 16GB with an microSD card), parental controls and 802.11 b/g WiFi. The [FroYo][4]-running device retails for £150 ($237) over the pond, but if the company tries something similar over here, we suspect people might plump for something a little [more powerful][5], or [less expensive][6], or [both][7].
