LeapFrog introduces BlackBerry for tots

LeapFrog introduces BlackBerry for tots

Author JoeDigital

Want to teach your kids how to use a blackberry? Start them out with this over-sized look-alike from LeapFrog. It uses the same style of keyboard layout, but present the whole system in a larger size that’s easier for less coordinated fingers to manage, and exchanging the Blackberry trackball with a small paw print.

Now, the LeapFrog equivalent of a RIM Blackberry isn’t really a PDA, or even a functional cellphone, but it is able to help children learn dates, phonics and even a some simple games. It is expected to be released this summer, and the current estimated price will be around US$20.

If nothing else, it will give you a suitable trade-off toy for when the little ones get hold of the big people version, and nothing less than another cellphone will do.
