In technical terms, Fly pen is an even greater achievement than his LeapPad. Think of it as a powerful PDA sucked into the stylus alone. He views the $99 pen, which hits stores this fall in time for the Christmas season, as an ideal tool for teaching the 8- to 14-year-old tween market everything from algebra to Spanish. It's so impressive that Disney, Upper Deck, and Warner Bros. have already signed on to develop games for the device. And boy envisions still more uses for the Fly: as a group-computing device for businesses, for example, or a screenless PDA. He plans to eventually open its architecture to encourage broader development.

The Fly pen recognizes its location on the grid as it moves across the paper, allowing LeapFrog to load a variety of functions or learning tools to different areas of a single piece of paper. The Fly Pentop Computer , priced at about $100, comes with a set of papers preprinted for gaming and education. Children could learn the names and capitals of various states by pointing the pen anywhere on a map of North America printed on the special paper.
