Handheld gaming systems are a great way for kids to pass the time on summer afternoons. Kids use them in the car, on airplanes, and even outside when they should be playing. If the kids are playing with them, why not trick them into learning a little bit. That is Leapfrog's plan with their new handheld edutainment device The Didj Custom Gaming System.

What is the point with another handheld gaming system (especially since it educational)? The Custom in the Didj Gaming system title comes from an adults ability to load custom information and learning goals into the system. For example, if your child is playing a spelling game, and they have a spelling list from school, you can connect the Didj to your PC via a USB connection and load their spelling list into the game for playing. You can load all sorts of custom content including math, spelling, and reading. This way you can use the gaming system to support what is going on in the classroom. Users can also custom design games, color schemes, and avatars. This actually sounds pretty cool.

The Didj Custom Gaming system features a 3.2 inch TFT display, a 393 MHz Arm Processor, 32MB or operating RAM, and 256MB of storage NAND flashlinks memory. It is available for pre-order now, and will ship in August. It costs $89.99.
