It features a sliding screen that can easily be pushed up to reveal a QWERTY keyboard underneath. The soft, over-molded plastic housing creates an easy-to-grip surface for holding the device with two hands, and the rubber feet on the bottom of the device help to hold it still on a smooth tabletop surface./p pThe MobiGo comes with a game cartridge that can be inserted into a slot on the back of the device. This game cartridge features several learning games, each one with a choice between difficult or easy levels of play. New games may be downloaded by connecting the MobiGo device to a computer using the provided USB cable and installing the VTech download manager. Additionally, new game cartridges that feature a variety of popular characters and themes are available and sold separately, each with their own focus and learning curriculum./p pimg align="right" alt="MobiGo witha a girl" border="0" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/toys/detail-page/c26-B00385MZVG-3.jpg" / strongA Learning Device That Grows with Your Child/strongbr / The MobiGo Touch Learning System is a next-generation learning device that uses the popularity of modern handheld electronic devices to build skills in young children. It encourages the development of important dexterity-based skills by shifting between touch-based games and keyboard-based games, and it promotes the development of skills related to problem solving, spelling and grammar, observation, and mathematics./p pThe ability for parents to select a wide variety of games based on skill levels and themes makes MobiGo a versatile learning device that will maintain relevancy as a child grows. The MobiGo keeps track of user activity and saves this information under a personalized user profile that a child can set up the first time she uses the device. Although other users can play with the device, only one user profile can be saved at a time. This user can log onto the VTech Web site to download performance information, compare progress with other MobiGo profiles, and earn rewards for a job well done./p pstrongWhat's in the Box/strongbr / MobiGo Touch Learning System, USB cable, soft cloth, owner's manual./p pbr clear="all" //p
