Fisher-Price will sell an iPad for the Preschool Set, reports New York Times’ Bit Blog.
The iXL is a tablet-style electronic device that opens like a book. It is Mac and PC compatible.
It has fat, colorful icons on the right side and buttons and a speaker on the other side. As you might expect, there are apps for the new product: Story Book, Game Player, Note Book, Art Studio, Music Player and Photo Album software.
And, my goodness, this puppy even has a touch-screen.
The iXL will sell for $79.99. I wonder how it stands up to spilled grape juice, Play-Doh crumbs and drool.
