It's a pen with a brain. It really is! The FLY Fusion Pentop Computer from LeapFrog has an optical scanner that sees everything you write or draw on special dot-matrix FLY paper. It also has a built-in computer processor that gives it power to do a lot of super cool things, like play games and get homework help! If you're writing an essay, FLY Fusion will upload your handwritten notes to your PC, convert it to text and spell check it for you. Got a math problem? FLY Fusion can solve it. You can schedule dates into the calendar and FLY Fusion will remind you. You can even get it to translate words into Spanish or French for you. As well, you can download and listen to MP3s, or create your own music!
