Disney and ASUS Launch Netbook Computer for Kids
Disney Consumer Products (DCP) and ASUS have collaborated to develop the Disney Netpal, a netbook computer for children that?s fun, web-safe and easy to use.
Features of the new netbooks include more than 40 parental control options, an 8.9-inch LCD display, Wi-Fi capabilities, Windows XP Home, and kid-friendly software featuring Disney characters and icons. Browsers and email have extra filters to assure that parents are able to control online safety and content for their children, and can easily select with whom their children can correspond via email. The Disney Magic Desktop "gadget tray" offers a creatively designed 2D menu displaying Disney-themed email, Disney-themed browser and a robust suite of Disney-themed parental control options.
The Disney Netpal will be available in late July in two models with prices based on features. The Disney Netpal by ASUS is designed for kids ages 6-12. Retailers include Toys "R" Us and Amazon.com, and the suggested retail price is $349.99.
