The KIDO’Z application today is getting  a significant upgrade with the new release of the Adobe Air 2 runtime.

The (Great !!!!) Adobe team, which we  have worked closely with in the past months, helped to solve some KIDO’Z specific issues and made a huge improvements in the overall performance. All of that enables us to deliver now even better online experience for millions of  kids around the globe.

More Power:

The KIDO’Z Application now uses less CPU and up to 30% less memory.

This means that users should see an immediate improvement in performance, particularly on less powerful machines.

More Speed:

Adobe AIR 2 has an improved JavaScript engine which works up to twice as fast as the old one. This means that many of  your child’s  favorite sites will now work  faster and more efficiently with the KIDO’Z Browser.

More Stability

A new integrated browser together with some major bugs fixing, improves KIDO’Z’s stability and eliminates all crashing issues that some of you had when browsing certain sites.

To take advantage of the new Adobe Air 2, simply go to:
