This may be one of the better ones I have seen thus far, with cutting-edge technology wrapped into a very, truly "cool" educational toy. And of course they hook you with the popular Dora and Diego software expansions and the possibility for more expansions, but it's still a great idea! Affordably priced at 32.99 and below, it seems to be a great buy as well!! Here are some specs:

* Includes a kid-friendly keyboard, writing tablet, stylus and CD ROM software that helps preschoolers in getting ready for school
* The ready for school center is an expandable system with each additional piece of software consisting of five Learning centers and one field trip activity
* The five centers are reading, writing, math, art, music, and science
* Each center is represented by a physical button on the base hardware that are used to access those activities additional figure keys unlock new functionality
* Children can also print out reward certificates and supplemental worksheet-type activities

Most reviews I have read have been very favorable, although there seems to be a concern over the pushing of the educational aspect--that it's more of a toy than anything else, and that for those approaching kindergarten it can be quite boring. Still, for those in the 3 year range, I can't think of many different ways to jump start your child learning about technology, writing, reading, etc.
