Samsung and Fingerprint team up to create safe mobile network for kids

Fingerprint Digital provides safe kids apps for Samsung tablets

The network will offer safe apps and games with an educational twist for kids ages three to seven. The partnership is a big endorsement by the South Korean electronics giant for Fingerprint’s fledgling safe and educational kids app service.
Fingerprint will customize its mobile app service for Samsung’s own select devices. The service will debut in Southeast Asia and Oceania in the first quarter of 2014. Like Fingerprint’s other kids services, it will offer a safe and fun environment for kids to play games and learn. Parents will be able to create a family account for multiple children and receive personalized reports on activity. They can also get content recommendations and control access for each child.
On top of that, Fingerprint is earmarking $1 million to support the integration and localization of kids’ apps and interactive books globally. The company will give that money to developers to help increase the quality and quantity of kids’ apps.
Samsung’s network will be part of its Kids’ Play-and-Learn Content Initiative, which is focused on developers.
“We are very excited about partnering with Fingerprint,” said Nicholas Wodtke, vice president of content and services at Samsung Electronics Media Solution Center Southeast Asia and Oceania. “Asia has a young demographic base and a rapidly growing middle class. There are an estimated 50 million kids in the age group of 3-7 years in Southeast Asia. Samsung is focused on bringing to market a service that offers a safe mobile play and learn environment for kids.” 
The service will be called the Samsung Kids’ Mobile Network Powered by Fingerprint. It is part of Samsung’s global effort to deliver content and services that improve the user experience on its devices.
