kids android

moin moin,

trying to get an Android tablet for my son. I would like something
purchased here rather than as a direct import from whereever.

I want multiple accounts and parental controls. The main reason for the
controls at this point is to limit which apps he can get to and put time
limits on the use of his account. I'd also like to have time limits per
app, but that's a wishlist item.

I definitely want parental controls that do not require an online account.
I want as little 3rd party tracking of him and his tablet as possible. I
also want something that's not going to bork up because it goes many days
without an internet connection.

If it weren't for me wanting to use it I'd just go without wifi and want
a USB connection for package updates :).

I found a bunch at toysrus that look OK, but the one I got immediately
wants me to create an account for parental controls :(. It looks like they
might all require that :(.

Has anyone found a parental controls app that doesn't require online
tracking? Preferably it would be FLOSS licensed.

In the end I really just need a tablet with bumpers, multiple accounts and
parental controls. I would like gorilla glass as well, but will do my best
to just keep him from trying to put anything through the screen :).

I also want something with a recent version of android and would prefer
something that's probably going to have updated versions.

I'll probably go with Cyanogenmod, Plasma or Ubuntu for my next tablet,
but for the child device I'd prefer something with a support chain. I also
want to be able to use the Google market to get adult apps like my speed
reader and German news site apps.

I keep watching for the ZaTab to be available again :).
