While LeapFrog isn’t known for skirting on the edge of technological advancement, they do build some solid devices and I like their focus on education. They have announced that coming Summer 2008 they will be offering the new Leapster2, a slimmer, faster device, and their new Didj ‘tween device. The Didj features a 3.2″ 24-bit 240×320 display, an ARM9 CPU running at 393MHz, and 256MBs of Flash ROM. I’m sure the hackmasters will be all over this one, since its priced at US$89.99. The Leapster2 will retail for US$69.99. Titles for the two systems will go for US$24.99 and keep your eyes out for Star Wars: Clone Wars for both.
