Netbooks Geared Towards Toddlers?

With toddlers being more tech savvy than many adults these days, it only makes sense that manufacturers use netbooks to target this demographic. Case in point, Bandai's Gachapin and Mukku-themed lineup.

Gachapin and Mukku may be cute characters for kids on Japanese television, but the hardware under the hood of this neon green netbook is approved for all ages. It features a 120 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM, WiFi, a webcam, and a 1Seg television tuner. At $878, this netbook is a pricey purchase for parents—but it may turn out to be an investment in their future. Perhaps they will become the first 7-year old Microsoft professional or make your family rich writing iPhone applications. [Bandai via DVICE via Boing Boing Gadgets]
