Review

It's the touch screen that makes this toy so great. It's a far more intuitive way for kids to interact than pushing buttons to get things done. And VTech puts the touch screen technology to good use. Kids trace lines, touch moving spaceships, and move icebergs with their fingers - all great fine motor challenges that help develop pre-writing skills. We also love the physical styling of this unit. It's really, really cool how the screen pops up to reveal the keyboard - and a QWERTY one at that. It is a very comfortable unit to hold and play, and it's nice that the screen stays propped at a comfortable viewing angle, whether you're holding it or resting it on your lap. The basic game package included offers a good selection of activities - all fun to play, and each offering it's own learning opportunities. Six games in all. The duck "shooting" gallery has kids find and press letters on the QWERTY keyboard. Space Challenge practices number sequencing (single number and series)....

Manufacturer's Description Combines popular touch screen technology with important early learning games that develop pre-school skills such as math, language and logic for 3- to 8-year-olds. Children can explore a world of learning through the interactive games, coloring book pages, drawing and playing instruments on MobiGo with the touch, tap and flick of their fingers. In addition to the touch screen, MobiGo has a QWERTY keyboard so older children can develop early typing skills. An initial offering of 11 popular licensed MobiGo games are uniquely designed to ensure that even when children are engaging in “play,” they are still developing the skills that are the bedrock for learning.

Great little system. Aliyah loves it! The games are geared towards the right ages and are just challenging enough so the kids don't get frustrated. She is learning her alphabet as well as where the letters are placed on a regular QWERTY keyboard. I have nothing but good things to say about this system. Durable, even when dropped. The batteries last forever, she's had it for almost a month now and the batteries have not died on us yet. She plays with it almost every day, for an hour at the most. It is very versatile, some games work with the touch screen, others with the keyboard and some work with the arrow buttons on the sides. It is very kid user friendly and I find very much worth its price. Actually teaches while your child is having fun! A WOW toy in my books!
