LeapPad 2

After the success of the LeapPad, the LeapFrog LeapPad2 is now in stock for kids in the age group of 3 to 9 years. Apart from a host of beefed up features, this version offers access to the Pet Pad writing game, the Letter Factory title and much more through the company’s App Center.

Against the previous edition which sports just one camera on the rear side, this new-fangled tablet features a primary snapper as well as a secondary one with video recording capabilities. In terms of memory, it is infused with 4GB of hoarding capacity. Fueled by a 550MHz processor, it is capable of delivering roughly 9 hours of usage through 4 AA batteries. The LeapPad2 tags along the same 5-inch 480 x 272p display seen in the earlier version in addition to a USB port and an audio jack for connectivity.

“LeapPad was one of the hottest products for kids in 2011. We took everything kids and parents loved about LeapPad and took it to a whole new level with the new LeapPad2,” explained Greg Ahearn, chief marketing officer at LeapFrog. “The incredible new features and breadth of content available on LeapPad2 offer kids more engaging experiences than ever before. Whether a game, video, music or eBook, parents trust LeapFrog will provide their children with compelling and age-appropriate educational entertainment on the powerful and kid-tough LeapPad2.”
