Engadget reports from the U.K. Toy Fair a new PDA for children from LeapFrog, called the Text and Learn. Here’s the breakdown:
Here’s what we know about the must-have device of the year: boasting a full QWERTY keyboard, the Text and Learn has a calendar (for learning dates), phonics functions (for learning… phonics) on the keyboard, and games to teach spelling and basic computer skills, as well. There’s also some “texting” — the child can interact with their onscreen buddy/ guide, Scout.
The Text and Learn, although still not officially announced, is expected to be released in August at $30.
