LeapFrog Didj to release Nintendo DS competitor |
LeapFrog has a new handheld learning/gaming system, the Didj. It should retail for $89.99 when it arrives this summer. LeapFrog isn’t saying that the device is Nintendo DS competitor, but it happens to be aimed toward 6 to 10 year-olds, a demographic that the DS currently rules with an iron fist.
With the Didj they want to up the gaming and graphics while integrating the fancy learning stuff. It’s sure to be a hit with parents who would rather see their kids being educated rather then simply guiding Mario on his latest quest. The Didj has no Wi-Fi connection but it should work with the LeapFrog Connect Application, which lets children customize game content via USB.
Whether kids will just put this down and pick up a DS when the adults aren’t looking remains to be seen.

This is wonderful! I bought our kids the leapster and leappad and they loved it but it is a little young for them now that they are 8. This should fill that gap. The boys have already got excited when I told them we’ll get one when it comes out.
To John Banks: Just get them a DS. It’ll cover them for life.
