EL SEGUNDO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/08/11 -- Fuhu, Inc., maker of Nabi, the world's first, full-featured Android tablet and platform made especially for kids, announced today that sales of Nabi have outpaced initial expectations, selling out the entire pre-order Nabi stock less than three weeks after becoming available on Toysrus.com. Following the likes of record-breaking entertainment releases such as Call of Duty®, Nabi pre-order sales created a big splash in the "Kiddified" electronics arena.
As a result of the overwhelmingly positive response to Nabi, Fuhu's focus has shifted to increasing its manufacturing production in a very short amount of time in an effort to bring more Nabi tablets to Toys"R"Us® stores and Toysrus.com nationwide in time for the holidays.
In the short time Nabi has been available for pre-order on Toysrus.com, it has already ranked as a No. 1 Top Seller in the Electronics and Entertainment category, as well as a No.1 Top Rated product in the Learning category and a No. 1 rated Customer Favorite product.
"We created Nabi to fill a void in the tablet space and provide children with an unparalleled and engaging experience that was custom made for them," said Jim Mitchell, CEO of Fuhu, Inc. "Nabi is reimagining the tablet -- it's no longer just for adults -- and we're heartened to see just how excited adults and children alike are about Nabi."
