In the UK, the cheapest model will start at £299, the mid-tier “Watch” version will range from £479 to £949 depending what strap you choose, and the high-end Edition will start at [cough] £8,000.

Tips: Find Family Friendly Videos For Kids With the YouTube Kids App. Because kids have access to browsers on many devices they can roam the internet which can result in kids seeing inappropriate content.
The best defense for parents is to make sure they educate their kids on internet safety and have regular safety talks -so communication between kids and their parents is key. Along with that, introducing family friendly apps can also help kids stay within the boundaries of family friendly content. I am excited to announce that YouTube has created the YouTube kids app as a step to help families provide a safer place for kids to view videos online. While I could not attend the press event in New York, I will be meeting with YouTube to get a demo soon. Event though the ideal age for this app is only 2-8, this is a great step in the right direction for family friendly apps in general. For now I wanted to share the information from the YouTube kids press release so parents can test it out for themselves:
Tips: Find Family Friendly Videos For Kids With the YouTube Kids App. Tips: Find Family Friendly Videos For Kids With the YouTube Kids App. Power Up Your Family Storytime. June 3, 2013 | by Jen Singer Imagine if your child’s favorite stories could talk, “listen,” encourage your kids’ creativity, help them learn to read — and share with you whether you’re home or not.
FamLoop is on the forefront of reinventing Family Storytime using new technology that makes stories interactive, educational, and entertaining. They’re not just ebooks; they’re interactive appBooks that connect the family in both traditional and new ways. FamLoop’s interactive storybook apps feature animation, interactive and educational activities such as puzzles and drawing, and a non-linear storytelling experience that allows your children to explore the parts of the story that most interest them. Some FamLoop interactive storybook apps allow family members to ask questions as characters, such as a Munchkin in Oz, while others include characters that point out interesting things in the story. Some of the latest storybook apps from FamLoop include: Winky Google Glass App Takes Pictures When You Blink. Google’s highly anticipated Glass eyewear has been in the hands of some lucky developers for only a little while, but we’re already … err seeing … some clever uses for the device starting to hit the Web.
The newest Glass app to make its debut is Winky, a piece of software that captures photos using Glass’ camera whenever a wearer winks. Developer Mike DiGiovanni said he created the app to make snapping photos using Glass feel more natural and to prevent wearers from being taken out of the moment by having to issue the, “Okay Glass, Take a Picture,” command. Leave it to Disney to make the history of 44 Presidents (dare I say?) fun at Cool Mom Tech. Today’s Inauguration gives us a great opportunity to talk to the kids about the role of our President and some of the more interesting and colorful figures to have graced the Oval Office.
But, if you slept through history class as much as I did, you may also find it hard to remember the details and dates of all 44 presidencies. Which is where an incredibly smart app for the iPad will come in very handy. And, unlike my old history classes, there is no way the kids will sleep through this. Disney American Presidents app for the iPad takes you through the Unofficial Oval Office Scrapbook. Flip the cover and you’ll find a 2-page “spread” for each of the Presidents. Though the pages include all the important stuff—like the dates of their presidency, political party, and Vice President—-it’s the “fun stuff” that makes my kids laugh–and probably will help them remember the individuals better than rote memorization.

Apple Event On for Oct 23: “Little More to Show” Us Likely iPad mini. The worst kept secret in the tech world is finally about to become real.
Apple just sent out invitations to a special event taking place Oct. 23rd, and we fully expect the iPad mini to be officially unveiled, along with perhaps the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. We’ll be there live to bring you all the details and our first hands-on impressions of Apple’s latest gear. For those who haven’t been following the rumors, the iPad mini is said to feature a 7.8-inch display, a very thin design that’s reminiscent of the iPod touch and, of course, access to more than 250,000 apps.
We also expect to see the same Lightning connector that’s found on the iPhone 5 for charging and attaching accessories. There’s still debate as to whether Apple will offer the mini with 4G LTE , but in order to keep costs down we expect the device will be Wi-Fi only–at least to start. App Gets You Ready for Voting Day. You can't miss the fact that an election is coming.
But are you sure your voting registration is up to date? And do you know if your polling place is the same as it was last time? Are you even in the same congressional district? (That may have changed based on the last census, in 2010.) "Millions of voters are being asked to cast their ballot in a different location this year," said Tiana Epps-Johnson of the New Organizing Institute Education Fund. To keep you in the know, her organization and four others have created a Web app for smartphones called Election Protection, available in app stores such as Google Play or for download from your smartphone's browser at app.866ourvote.org. It allows you to register to vote, find your polling place and look up laws and regulations for your state.
Hands-on with theBlu: Ocean Education App Helps You Explore the Deep. When we first heard about theBlu, we were confused as to exactly what it was.
And after reading a bit about it, not much was cleared up. So we went hands-on to explore this socially-connected, global interactive app that aims to support oceanic conservation. The downloadable app for Mac and PC, which will soon be available on mobile, tablets and smart TVs, lets you experience the ocean in 3D and interact with friends via Facebook to go “diving” together.

Microsoft Office Spotted on the iPad, Expected to Drop into the App Store Soon. There are already other ways to get Microsoft Office on your iPad, but who can argue with an official version? Today, a report from The Daily claims that an iPad version of the Microsoft Office suite exists–and a staffer’s brief hands-on time with the product showed that it is a polished and capable app.
It comes as no surprise that Microsoft has developed the app; after all, the company has already shown willingness to develop for Apple’s slate, which is becoming a staple productivity tool among students and businessmen. On the Office for iPad app, you’ll supposedly be able to create Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and edit them both locally and online. Just like Microsoft’s other dedicated apps, Microsoft Office for iPad flaunts details of the Metro UI. A leaked picture of the app running on an iPad reveals a button to create a new document, as well as separate tiles for Word, Excel and Powerpoint docs.
