VTech VSmile Pocket Learning System

Wednesday November 2, 2005
The VSmile Pocket Learning System from VTech is one of the most talked about electronic learning toys of the year. Portable, easy to use and convenient, this handheld unit can be easily carried everywhere - to games, to the park, to a friend's house or even in the car. An additional plus is that it can be plugged into a regular TV set either at home or in the car, and used on a bigger screen.

The traditional VSmile smartridges will fit into the Pocket Learning System as well, which is great for all those parents looking for an upgrade over the original VSmile TV Learning System.

Priced rather steeply at $89.99, the VSmile Pocket Learning System is a tad too expensive. However, this unit is pretty sturdy, and will provide endless hours of entertainment and educational value to your kids. I would recommend purchasing the additional battery pack along with the unit to avoid unncessary replacement battery charges in the future which tend to mount up.

Overall, the VSmile Pocket Learning System is a wonderful buy for your kids aged between 4 and 8.
