KIDO’Z v 1.0 is the first International computer operating system built for small children. A freeware download is available at http://kidoz.net/

The KIDO’Z discovery platform exits beta testing today with v 1.0, the first Internet operating system specifically designed for children ages 3-7 years. With multilingual support in 17 languages, KIDO’Z is already deployed in over 80 countries.

With the utility of a simple browser, and the security of a refined, parent filtered search engine, KIDO’Z provides the ideal environment for adults to present technology and a safe Internet to their children. At the heart of KIDO’Z, is a smart content engine that can be configured to individualize content based on a wide variety of criteria: age, language, culture, nationality, gender, religion, and content popularity, just to name a few possible variables.

“We started KIDO’Z so that our small children could understand and safely interact with great Internet content. KIDO’Z now is a logical progression of this development, where all the world’s small children can experience the nearly limitless potential of the Internet, but in a safe, fun and meaningful way.” — Gai Havkin, CEO

For kids, KIDO’Z is a safe, intuitive and friendly way to begin learning Internet technology, and to explore content from the very best providers on the Web. Using the graphics based interface, even very young children who cannot yet read can navigate web sites approved by parents, favorite content, watch entertaining and educational video, and play intelligent and interactive games.

For parents KIDO’Z, through its parental interface, delivers safety, control and peace of mind. Parents are actually building the world of KIDO’Z for all children through monitoring their own children’s activities, suggesting and sharing the best content, and in effect contributing to a unique user generated content system, one centered on early childhood.

Built using Adobe Air, KIDO’Z is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Version 1.0′s parental controls include: approval or blocking of public content, adding private content, sharing and content moderation, rating content, account editing, and setting time limits. KIDO’Z has also been optimized for notebooks and touch screens for added flexibility.
