The fisher price ixl learning syatem is acompact handheld Fisher-Price iXL 6-in-1 Learning System designed with children in mind, the system is available in blue, pink and silver although the silver is a lttle more expensive for some reason, constructed of durable plastic so it is able to take the knocks that children can sometimes inflict on their toys,

When first starting out the help of an adult will be needed as there are batteries to insert and the initial set up to complete, the set up will require minimal calibration of the screen the enter the CD Rom that is included to set up the system for any future updates to the sotware and any customization that you may want to do, after that the Fisher-Price iXL 6-in-1 Learning System is ready for use

whats in the box
you will get the learning system itself which opens like a book and is design so that its easy to handly for children, a usb cable and the CD Rom,

The learning system comes with one animated story included but as with all of these type of systems the rest of the games are sold as extras which can mount upo but the unit still provides hours of fun,

The iXL Learning System will keep curious kids busy, entertained, and learning with its six preloaded activities. Your child will practice reading and comprehension with the Digital Reader, which includes an interactive 15-page story available in either the reading or interacting mode. For kids who love action, the Game Player features a three-level arcade game that promotes counting and learning about sequences and numbers.

Future young writers can practice the alphabet and their penmanship in the Notepad mode, while young artists will flex their creativity with the Art Studio’s digital tools. The iXL includes an MP3 Player with five preloaded kid’s songs and a Photo Viewer with three sample images that can be embellished and manipulated.

The Fisher-Price iXL 6-in-1 Learning System is extremely intuitive and uncomplicated. The stylus has a holster and is tethered to the device by a sturdy nylon string, so your child will never lose it. Opposite the screen is a speaker with volume control, an Action button that allows you to make choices in certain modes, and a Home button that returns you to the Main Menu whenever you wish. although this ststem is not totally new to the market it is expexted to be one of the best christmas toys this year and is epected to sell fast

Here is a video from you tube so that you can see some of the features and usability of the system

Leapfrog Leapster Explorer Learing Game

Customer reviews

If you’re currently looking for an educational handheld system for kids 4-9, then you should consider the Explorer. Let me start by saying I’m a fan of the Leapfrog concept (educational handheld system for young kids). So perhaps I’m a bit biased. But we are also honest, so if we don’t like it, we’ll say it. Our son got a Leapster L-Max Leapster L-Max Learning Game…

My 3 year old son got this about two months ago, I agree with other reviews that say this toy is amazing, better graphics, the screen sensitivity is higher and the kids are drawn by this new leapster explorer, you can download applications very similarly than on an Iphone and your kids gets to read books that are already out on TAG. However, there is no camera like they had said there would be, there are endless commercials every time your child turns on the leapster explorer and the games are less educational than those leapfrog currently has on the market for leapster 2. Furthermore, the leapster explorer is more expensive than the Leapster 2 and the games are too pricey for the little educational content they provide. Educationally wise Leapster 2 is still the best choice out there, why do I say this? Well if you compare the games of leapster 2 (which I own all of them), to the games available for leapster explorer you will come to the conclusion that leapster 2 games has much better content for children ages 4 -8, even the older games for plain first generation leapster are more educationally inclined than the leapster explorer ones. Vocabulary wise, reading wise, math wise and simply on every scholastic level they seem to have better examples, better skill development, and create a better foundation for skills that every child needs to develop later in their educational life (such as algebra, science, etc). The Leaspter 2 also has the benefit of fewer commercials or need to be buying new games to develop a new skill. My main concern with leapster explorer, it seems that leapfrog has decided to put their marketing and money making ambitions above learning expectations. The games are fun YES, the kids will love this toy YES, but your child will not learn as much as he or she would with the leapster 2. I understand that leapfrog is a business and they need to make money, but this new toy is targeted to make our children learn to ask and ask for the next game.
