Fuhu is a company that kind of appeared out of nowhere and blew me away with the nabi 2. Its two subsequent tablets – the nabi Jr. and nabi XD – cover age groups on either side of the nabi 2, so the whole family can get in on the fun. While I've already reviewed the 2 and Jr., I've been waiting to cover the XD for one reason: the Play Store.The first two nabi devices are missing the Play Store, which is one area where both take a hit. Of course, since they're really for school-age children, they get a pass (from me, at least), but it's something I had a much harder time forgiving on the 10-inch XD, which is designed for tweens. I feel like there's a lot more of a need for Play on a device for older kids, as they can just get more use out of it.Fast-forward to now, and the 32GB nabi XD is available for purchase – complete with Google Play. This is the first Fuhu device to feature access to Google Services, which is a pretty big deal.Before we get into the bulk of the review, however, I want to discuss the differences between the two versions of the nabi XD. As pointed out in the specs, there are 16GB and 32GB versions, and they vary slightly from each other. It isn't uncommon for Fuhu to change things up on the same device, just as it did with the 4GB and 16GB nabi Jrs.Thus, here's the short list of differences between the two, itemized for quick and easy parsing:
If you picked up Fuhu's nabi XD tablet for tweens, then it's time to grab it and hit the update button. An OTA recently began rolling out that brings some intriguing new features to the device, including an all-new launcher.
Back in early-to-mid December, Fuhu announced a pair of new tablets: the nabi Jr. for small children, and the nabi XD for tweens. While release details were scant for the nabi Jr., the XD was penciled in for a mid-January release date. That time frame has come and gone, but it looks like both device are now available through BestBuy.com, though it's possibly the company pulled the trigger a little bit early since there's been nary a word from Fuhu since the initial announcement.

Say Hello To The $250 Nabi XD
Fuhu - the creator of the nabi and nabi 2 tablets - is on fire. Just a little over one week ago, they announced the nabi Jr., a new 5" tablet designed for small children, and today they're back at it with a tablet designed just for tweens: the nabi XD.
