The ePad Femme, designed and distributed by the Eurostar Group, is an eight-inch tablet that comes pre-loaded with apps concerning yoga, grocery shopping, and cooking. Thank the heavens, ladies may never trouble their pretty heads with such difficulties as finding and downloading their own apps ever again.<\/p>\n<p>The tablet was first announced back in October but received a marketing push in February as \u201cthe perfect Valentine\u2019s Day gift,\u201d noted one site. The tablet runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, or as a woman might call it, \u201cthe Android screensaver.\u201d Eurostar calls the ePad Femme &#8220;the first tablet specifically for ladies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Several sites highlight that the tablet \u201ccomes in light pink.\u201d Despite our best efforts, we\u2019ve failed to find an image verifying that the actual body of the tablet is pink, so we assume this is in reference to the home screen wallpaper. Just as well, since what woman is going to figure out how to configure that, am I right? Settings, right? What even are they?<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the <em>Jerusalem Post<\/em>, Eurostar associate vice president of marketing Mani Nair said that the tablet comes with the preloaded womanly applications so the user can \u201cjust turn it on and log in to cooking recipes or yoga.\u201d He went on to state that the ePad Femme \u201cmakes a perfect gadget for a woman who might find difficulties in terms of downloading these applications and it is a quick reference.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No, not the tablet &mdash; the stunning ability to condescend to half of the human race: At long last, a company has designed a tablet fit for the use of an entire gender that has, thus far, apparently gone unserved.
