Leapfrog is promoting the
Leapster Explorer as an all in one platform for gaming, e-books, videos and educational content. It can also function as a camera and video recorder if you purchase a camera accessory. It has an ARM processor, 512MB of flash storage, a 420x420 pixel 3.2 inch touch screen, 3D graphic processing, and a flash engine for applications and video. The image below is from an
explorer review by Nicole Tanner at

The release of this new product seems related to the news that Leapster is
discontinuing the Didj, another ARM processor based Linux gaming system that has been on the market only 2 years. The Didj announcement isn't going over well with parents on the Leapfrog community forum.
Leapster2 owners are also upset that the cartridges will not be compatible with earlier products.
