Now for electronic toy help for DS!

[TradersMom]

Thank you all so much for your response to my question about an electronic toy for my DD - looks like the Leapster is a winner!

I checked out the Leapfrog site to get more info on Leapster and I saw the iQuest, which is geared towards Middle Schoolers (DS is almost 13). It seems to be mainly for studying, but it also has some PDA-type qualities like an address book, etc. (and he's asked for my old Palm - very early, basic version that I never use).

Anyone have any experience with the iQuest? DS is not big at studying - will this help make it more fun? Positives, negatives - I'd like to hear it all!

Thanks again,
Sheila

I bought my DD an IQuest when she was 11 - she loves it. We subscribe to the leapfrog site and can download questions which are directly from her books that the school uses. Very much worth it in my opinion.
