One catch is that the FLY works only with special FLY paper (which has a dot pattern for the scanner), so you'll need to buy FLY notebooks. Other add-on cartridges and games impressively extend what the FLY can do, making it a great tool for study or play. || [|FLYworld Pentop Computer] ||

 *  Aimed squarely at kids 8 to 13 years old—who are getting too old for electronic games that look like toys—the FLY is a product sure to draw gasps whenever it's used. The FLY combines a scanner, computer, and pen, so that it sees what you write and responds appropriately. Start by writing an M and drawing a circle around it to activate the main menu, then tap the M to scroll through commands. The FLY can do some astonishing things: You can draw a calculator on paper and tap the numbers to use it, or draw a piano keyboard and tap the keys to play a song (a small speaker in the FLY plays the correct sounds). The basic package comes with learning tools and games that are fun even for adults.
