I admit, I'm not a gadget freak. It takes years before I decide to buy an iTouch. It takes 2 years for me to change my cellphone. I'm just not into these type of things. But, just this morning, my Mom who is an excited Lola told me that she bought a new gadget for the little girls.
YES! The leapster explorer! She bought it over the weekend and will be giving it to the girls as her Christmas gift. How exciting! Of course I checked it out online (since I had no idea, what it was and how it works!) and found this,
This Explorer features a sharper, 3.2-inch 420x420-pixel touch screen and improved processing power that allows the device to run video, 3D graphics and Flash-based games. The $69.99 Explorer launches on July 12 with 12 games and 18 Leaplet Learning Apps, which are are akin to some of the smaller, simpler educational games found in Apple's App store. A two-pack of the Learning Apps will run $14.99 while the game cartridges will retail for $24.99. Launch titles include Toy Story 3, Disney Fairies, The Penguins of Madagascar, Wolverine and the X-Men, Disney Princesses, Ben 10, and Dora the Explorer.
At least according to the San Francisco Chronicle, LeapFrog is also billing the Explorer as an e-book reader (isn't every device an e-book reader these days?) and says that kids will be able to read e-books from the Tag library. This fall a camera accessory ($24.95) will be available that will apparently "unlock new gaming experiences such as visual scavenger hunts."
Oooh, wow, now I'm also excited about this! I'm pretty sure the girls will LOVE it! Thanks in advance, Lola Yolly! (*wink*)
