The LeapPad is encased in kid-proof plastic.
It has a 5-inch display, a still camera and a video camera, a mic, and 2GB of memory.
LeapFrog’s new LeapPad runs similarly to its predecessor, the Leapster Explorer, and is cross compatible with its gaming cartridges.
The LeapPad can act as an ebook reader (for children’s books, of course), and play videos. It comes with apps that let kids create and personalize their own stories with photos taken by the device.
The LeapPad’s educational games auto-adjust for difficulty level and are available in areas such as mathematics, spelling and phonics. A child-sized stylus even lets kids practice their writing skills.
The LeapPad is intended for children between the age 4 and 9 with versions in pink and green.
