The report, released today (Feb. 24) by San Francisco-based Bluebox, ranks the Fuhu Nabi 2 best in class out of nine tablets evaluated, yet notes that the Nabi barely scored above a 5 on Bluebox's 10-point trustworthiness scale. "You get what you pay for in terms of data privacy and security," the Bluebox report said, noting that some of the cheaper devices came with development builds of Android that were insecure by design. In addition to the Nabi 2, iDeaPLAY and Orbo Jr., the devices tested were the Contixo Kids 7, the iRulu Kid Pad, the Kurio 7s, the ProntoTec 7-inch WiMo, the Southern Telecom Smartab and the Sprout Channel Cubby.
