OMG! A BlackBerry for babies?
Toddlers can soon obsessively text and type like their parents on a pint-sized personal digital assistant made by LeapFrog.
Unveiled at a toy fair in England, the Text & Learn will land in the United States this summer - and perhaps prove as addictive as the real-life "crackberry" is to adults.
Some parents who are constantly pulling their devices out of their kids' hands - and mouths - were amused by the colorful toy.
"I would definitely consider getting one for Pete - in the vain hope it would keep him away from my cell, which he thinks is the seventh wonder of the universe," said Katy Hope of Brooklyn, whose son turns 1 this month.
The gadget (pictured), recommended for ages 3 and up, is designed to teach spelling and computer skills. It doesn't connect to the Internet but allows kids to text, play games and navigate with arrow keys.
"Busy 3-year-olds will love to 'play' like their parents do," LeapFrog wrote about the toy
