Meet the LeapFrog Leapster Explorer:

This is like the mac-daddy of youth gaming systems: educational games, ebooks, videos – even a digital camera attachment (sold separately).  If you’re familiar with the original Leapster (and the Leapster 2), this Explorer has the added functionality of the Tag reader (and video) rolled in.

I also enjoyed the ability to simply download (and pay) for games and books online via the new Leaplet technology.  The Explorer comes with one leaplet to get you started.

Restaurants, airplanes, waiting rooms, here we come!!  I can’t even stress how awesome this device is…
