Do
you wish there was an easier way to entertain your child when they’re in a
stroller? Maybe you’re grocery shopping, going for a jog or just need a quick
break to fix a snack or do the laundry. If you have an iPad or any other
tablet, we may have a solution for you. It’s called the iStroll Kid. With the
help of the iStroll Kid, your child can be busy watching Yo Gabba Gabba or
interacting with an educational app, this allows you to freely run errands,
shop, or go for a walk all while they are in their stroller.
Kids love the iPad...
Kids
love the iPad because it’s interactive, convenient, and easy to use for all
ages. The iStroll Kid connects an iPad to a stroller which then entertains
children and allows parents to rest easier while going out somewhere. Christian
Souza, the creator of iStroll Kid, has had the same problems that most parents
do when trying to wrestle your kid while on the go. He tells us how he got the
idea for this project. “My idea came about because my son at the time, when he
was a one year old, would not sit in his stroller for anything. I knew he
always interacted with the iPad so I created a prototype that attached to his
stroller and miraculously he was distracted enough to sit in his stroller while
I ran errands. I thought that if I went through this, I'm sure other parents my
find this device handy.” Being a father himself, Christian understands how
difficult it can get to manage your child when you’re on the go.
The iStroll...
The
iStroll Kid comes with a lower clamp that attaches to either a round, square,
or oval shaped stroller legs. It is the first product that actually connects to
a stroller leg or a wheelchair. The goose neck extension adjusts to the height
you need depending on where your child is positioned in the stroller. The
mount is adjustable to fit an iPad or any other types of tablet such as Kindle,
Galaxy, etc.
What
excites him most about this project is the fact that he could create a device
that would be able to help a child. Christian wants to make a difference in the
world and he believes this device will help parents as well as their children.
He says, “I started to receive emails from parents with children with special
needs. They all shared their stories of how their kids depend on the iPad to
help them communicate and interact. The iStroll Kid will make the biggest
impact here. If it can help a child, personally to me, it would be the best
feeling in the world.”
What's next...
Right now he’s trying to finish producing his first line of production and is
campaigning on Kickstarter to get the funding his needs to make this
product a success. Once fully funded, he plans to launch in April of this
year. He’s taking pre-orders for a cost of $35. After the initial launch, the
retail price will be $49.99.
Although
statistics captured from mobile advertising data suggests that Android tablets
were twice as popular as iPads during Christmas 2012, the iPad and iPad mini
are still the most popular tablets. This article is representing the details about the strength of iPad sales during the 2012 holiday season.
According
to new data from Millennial Media, who specializes in mobile advertising, iOS
tablet impressions grew at 7% per day on average during the December 23rd to
December 27th period. In contrast, Android tablet impressions grew at an
average of 18% per day.
This
comparison is a little unfair as it compares iPad sales to all the Android
sales from a variety of manufacturers including Amazon, Samsung, and Google
etc. This means that the 18% average daily growth is split among several
companies. Even if it was split just among the three manufacturers mentioned
above, it would mean that Apple’s 7% average daily growth rate is higher than
the 6% for each of the top three Android tablet makers.
In
reality, there are many more than three Android tablet makers as companies like
Asus and Acer also have significant sales. Also, the market share isn’t evenly split.
It is likely that Amazon has a greater Android tablet market share than say
Samsung.
What
this means is that the iPad is still the top selling tablet, and the Christmas
holiday data confirms it. The data comes from analyzing the number of ads
served from Millennial Media’s mobile advertising system and looking at what
types of devices requested the ads. The ads are requested by mobile apps which
are monetized by including advertising.
iPad
growth was steady, but climbing, during December with greater growth seen after
December 25th. The growth rate and total number of iPads in use during the 2012
holidays far exceeded those of 2011.
One
significant difference between 2011 and 2012 is that in November 2012 Apple
released the iPad mini, a 7.9 inch version of the iPad with similar processing
capabilities as the iPad 2. This means that the Christmas 2012 numbers also
include the sales and growing usage of the iPad mini as well as the standard
iPad.
2013
promises to be an interesting year as Apple fights to keep its top position.
There is lots of speculation about Apple’s plans for the iPad and iPad mini
this year as well as anticipation about the next generation of iPhone. However,
it is certain that Apple and its competitors will continue to strive to woo consumers
into buying one of their devices.
So you finally gave in and
