“The Didj handheld is the first grade-school system that lets kids ages 6-10 create the game and parents customize the learning.”

Using the included PC- and Mac- compatible LeapFrog® Connect Application, players first select and personalize an avatar. Then they design the game, choosing background scenery, color schemes or music. Most important, parents and kids can then customize content, connecting gameplay with schoolwork. Multiplication hard to master? Kids can choose to be quizzed on the 6s, 7s and 8s tables. Spelling a stumbling block? Kids can create a custom spelling list from the 10,000-word database and practice for next week’s test. Continuing the standard set with the Leapster® Learning Game System, the Didj handheld auto-levels, adjusting games to children’s particular skills and progress, so players are appropriately challenged. All this is delivered in a sleek unit offering the high-quality graphics (3.2 Inch, 320×240 Pixels LCD Screen) and classic gameplay that kids demand. The LeapFrog Connect Application allows kids to move specific curriculum content for each game on and off their Didj handheld—just like managing digital camera or MP3 files. Every time players connect the Didj system to the computer, the Badges they’ve earned for correct answers upload to become Bitz usable for enhanced customizations. Best of all, each time parents connect the Didj system to their Mac or PC, they can view their children’s progress along LeapFrog’s proprietary Learning Path and access further content to match their kids’ interests and needs.

Didj will be available Summer 2008 for an MSRP of $89.99.
