I bought a portal so our kids (8 and under) could stay in touch with grandparents and cousins more easily. I love the idea of having rotating pictures, like a digital picture frame, from favorite contacts. I love the idea that they can make video calls to contacts. I do not love that they also have access to a web browser, youtube, FB Watch, or any other apps. There needs to be a way to set this up so that it is locked down and we can have it sitting in the living room where kids can access it. Huge Fail! We won't be keeping it for this reason.
