LeapFrog Goes For Baby BlackBerry

Posted on Jan 28, 09 11:58 AM PDT

Well, this "Baby BlackBerry" is definitely not from RIM, but is actually the Text and Learn PDA for kids from educational unit LeapFrog. Talk about trying to give your little ones a kickstart when it comes to churning out emails on the go, save for the fact that the Text and Learn unit won't be able to send random messages to folks on your contact list with the little one pounding away at keys in quick succession. Features include a full QWERTY keyboard (none of that Fast Finger keyboard nonsense) and a large LCD display. Other businesslike tools like Wi-Fi connectivity are missing for obvious reasons, but at least your kid will be entertained for a few more minutes at this point in time. Be careful of this August-bound £19.99 toy though - it might cost you a whole lot more when he/she reaches the teen years, and they'll probably bug you for a real BlackBerry complete with an unlimited data plan due to the early indoctrination.
