Coming soon... Leapfrog Epic - Android powered

[snipa]

Leapfrog are making the transition over to Android, and seemingly porting all of their apps over in the process:

Looks a decent spec for children, especially with the ability to customise the web browser access.

Interesting. Would be nice to get my hands on one, but most likely won't for some time. My kids have way too many already.

Here in Australia they will retail for $200. I will get one tho(eventually)... I wonder if they will keep the same apk packages like vanilla android... I can see it now... leapfrog game emulators on the play store haha

They're selling it here in my place for over twice the price, and that's despite similarly-powered tablets using the MT8127 or an equivalent SoC which could be had for like a fraction. :/

Oh and btw, a friend of mine just uploaded a tarball containing the kernel sources, in case any one of you guys here are interested. He got it off his mailbox yesterday, following a request from LeapFrog I made for the lulz (just to see if they'll still comply with the GPL and all).
