I got to test drive the newest gadget from
Leapfrog.
The Fly Pentop ComputerIt's a pen with a scanner in the tip that reads what you write.
There is a speaker built in that tells you what to do and reacts to what you've done.
You have to write on special "fly paper" for it to work.
The paper has small dots all over it, so the pen knows it's location on the page as you write.
Basically it's a computer without a monitor and You draw the icons and menus on the paper.
It's pretty amazing and I'm sure "tweenagers" are going to love it.
There are all sorts of game packs and learning packs you can purchase for it.
The technology behind this gadget will surely be expanded in all sorts of ways.
But for now, sneak a test drive from your nephew/niece on Christmas day.
