Leapfrog's 'Baby BlackBerry' Targets Preschool Set

from National Public Radio
February 6, 2009

The educational toy company Leapfrog has a new device for toddlers that looks just like their parents' BlackBerry. This personal digital assistant for the preschool set looks just like the real thing, only it's green, not black. It even has a full keyboard. Kids can text message an on-screen puppy named Scout. They just can't connect to the Internet.
