.caption { font-family: Verdana, Helvetica neue, Arial, serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; } ul.indent { list-style: inside disc; text-indent: -15px; } Put revolutionary technology at your child's fingertips with the LeapFrog FLY Fusion Pentop Computer. This working pen is actually a powerful handheld computer! Designed for kids ages eight and up, the Pentop Computer gives them a fun, innovative way to record and organize class notes, get help with math homework, study for tests, and much more! The Pentop recognizes anything kids write on the FLY paper. View larger. How It Works The Pentop Computer doesn't need a keyboard. Kids just write with the pen on the specially designed FLY Paper, which is provided in the included notebook. The computer recognizes anything kids write on the paper -- from algebraic equations to doodles -- and will read back what was written. Then, the Pentop Computer will scan it, digitize it, and make it available for upload to your personal computer. From there, kids can do whatever they want with the data; for instance, email it to friends or transfer it to a research paper. The computer will store a maximum of 80 to 100 pages of FLY Notes. The Pentop Computer is compatible with PCs. (It doesn't currently work with Macintoshes.) As well as being able to upload to a PC, the Pentop Computer can also download additional programs that are available for separate purchase. High-Tech Homework Help -- or Play The Pentop Computer comes equipped with a FastComp application to help your child tackle math problems. When your child gets stumped, he or she can simply write out the equation and the computer will calculate it. It also makes a great study partner: Your child can get ready for tests in any subject by using the pen to create interactive "flashcards." The computer will be able to use the flashcards to then give your child customized pop quizzes and will even keep score. But all work and no play is no fun, so the Pentop Computer also comes equipped with several fun and challenging games, including challenging Tangrams, Hangman, a "High Octane Personality Quiz," and more. Additional games are available for purchase and download. Plus, not only can your child download and listen to MP3s, he or she can even compose music with the computer's synthesizer-like capabilities! What's in the Box FLY Fusion Pentop Computer, Quick Start Guide and Installation CD, USB cable, FLY notebook, reference card, and FLY Fusion Games. more

- Interesting product, found replacement paper cheaper
I got this item during black Friday 2008. I guess for [...] bucks, I might decide to keep it. Just another toy to keep charged and buy proprietary memory and accessories for. The software add-ons are dirt cheap now, 10 cents for some,...

- Fun for the first Week
It's fun and seems like an amazing idea for the first week and then you get bored of it. However, I am a teenager. I'm sure younger kids could get a lot of use from it and have fun with it for a very long time, but I got bored of it...

We purchased this for our 8 year old's birthday. Our purpose was two-fold. One, we need him to improve his penmanship, and we thought if he could see where the computer wasn't picking up his writing as text, it would show him where to...

- Advertising misleads consumers
I bought the Fly Fusion Pen and Journal software to go along with it. I am a writer and I have been genuinely interested in this pen since I read about it in Wired magazine about 2 or 3 years ago. It seemed to have all the features I...
