No, that’s not a game pod. This time, it is purely academic. Now, you would not have any trouble spelling ’supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’. I still remember how I used to dread sitting in the English class trying to learn to spell words that twisted my tongue into knots. Fortunately, I am no more in school. And unfortunately, the device wasn’t around earlier to help me improve my English scores.
Korean Kids, especially, would have no such problems. I am not surprised it is Korea because I would be hard-pressed to imagine a Korean spelling ‘intelligent’ with ease. Now they can get sharper, thanks to Sharp and its KD-E1. English is going to be a lot more fun with not just the e-dictionary that is built into this device, but also the mini games, stories, songs, games, etc that come bundled with the product.
Now, it is not hard for companies to imagine what kids’ preferences are. The KD-E1 comes in colors and design that kids would find very appealing. Since this 365.000Won (290€) product is available only in Korea for now, other kids would still have to struggle with their English I would imagine.
