Update March 2009: Seven new titles will bring the total Didj library to 19 by 2010, and increase the curriculum offerings. Many releases seem to be Disney-related, featuring Hannah Montana (math, spelling), Neopets, High School Musical (music and fractions), Up (geography) and Fairies. Two notable exceptions: Star Wars Jedi Wars and an NFL sports game. There are no changes in the hardware for this year.
First released in the Summer of 2008, Leapfrog’s Didj (spelled in lower-case letters) is a handheld edu-gaming system with a clear color screen and Nintendo DS-like controls that comes in pink, blue or gray. It runs on 4 AA batteries, or it can be powered with a DC ‘in’ port. Like the Leapster or the Nintendo DS, the software comes on cartridges and is sold for $20 – $30 each. Other features include a mono headphone jack, a volume slider and easy-to-learn gaming controls. It does not have a touch screen.
