Hands down the LeapPad, it seems a lot more versatile; not very good reviews on the Inno on their own homepage. Vtechkids.com

We haven't tested it out yet, it's for Christmas. But other games we bought in the past that said "(works with LeapPad Tablets, LeapsterGS, and Leapster Explorer)" have worked in the LeapPad 2. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

Haven't tried to be honest. LeapPad takes 4 so at the least I am always charging 4..sorry

I would say probably not. The leappad2 is pretty much the same. It does have a little faster processor, little more memory, and the camera is a little better. It also has two cameras. But if you have the first one its not really a big difference.

Works with LeapPad1™ & LeapPad2 learning tablets and Leapster Explorer™ & LeapsterGS game systems

Hi Sam, To be honest I don't have a clue. My daughter still uses Innotab 1. Sorry that I'm unable to assist you :-(Best regards,Hubert

***Copied and pasted my response to a similiar question*** Hi Janice, or in this case jloveforever4 The bookworm within me squeals with joy because I really love Vtech's V.Reader :) To answer your question...The e-reader on the Innotab does not compare to what the V.Reader offers. As you stated the V.Reader books (cartridges) come with games built in to help reinforce reading skills. This is not the case with the Innotab. The books available on the cartridge games are just the e-book. The stories are animated and include a dictionary but no games. The Innotab's e-reader does have educational value cause it will read the book to your child and define words, however I could do that myself. The skills my son learns through the games (at least for me) are what give the V.Reader value. Vtech has updated their V.Reader, so when looking to purchase one you will see that most retailers still have the old one available. You can tell the difference between the two because the new one has a raised keyboard (soft buttons) versus the old one which has a touch screen keyboard. The new one includes a photo viewer/video player, a mediocre art studio, and an app to practice writing so it may be something worth checking out (I have the old one). If reading is what your looking for the V.Reader is the better device, and with all those upgrades you will still have it all in one (minus the mp3). The titles available for this device are great and we use ours right before bedtime. It's a great way to spend extra time with my little guy! Hope that helped.

We have the leap pad 2 and it works fine but I did have to return the first one because it didn't work. The second one did work and we haven't had a problem with it.

I read your question wrong. I would definetly upgrade from the Explorer to one of the Leappads. They are much better to play then the explorer and do have the cameras and a bigger screen. We updated from one device to the other for our boys.

I also have been debating between both devices. I build PC's as a hobby, so I thought it would be an easy decision to make. Wrong!! I've gone back and forth several times looking over the specifications of each and this is my personal conclusion. I am getting the Leapster Explorer because: The screen area is larger on the Explorer The Fisher Price ixl does not have charging stand available The ixl doesn't have a program like Learning Path for the Explorer. The device doesn't aid parents in tracking kids progress very well. Due to the construction of the ixl, the Explorer is built to last a lot longer. The flip top on the ixl looks much too easy to break off. Well, that's my opinion.... Good luck to all of you.

Thanks once again. I ordered her LeapPad today. Got a great bundle deal from LeapFrog plus free shipping. Her school just got one this week also, so we will be able to work together.

I prefer the LeapPad over the explorer. So I would say yes. I like the bigger screen and apps that come with it.

Yes! We had the LeapPad and just purchased the LeapPad 2 and the Leapster Explorer GS for my son. The cartridges work just fine.

Hi Tama, with the WiFi you can watch videos etc which are free. Most apps cost the same as other leap pads. They have some paid videos and books which I have not tried but my son is happy with the preinstalled apps and the 5 I bought. Only one of them is $24, rest are cheaper.I however keep the WiFi switched off most times to improve the responsiveness. I also find the leap pad Screen a little small for the videos as it does not pan the entire screen. Also the tab is very heavy to hold and watch. I probably need some kind of stand for it.Overall I like the ultra but I have not tried the previous versions so can't compare.Hope this helps. :) Hi Tama, with the WiFi you can watch videos etc which are free.

Although I don't have this ebook it should be compatable with the Leappad 1. Leapfrog has thus far allowed all games to be compatable across the different devices.

You'd be amazed at what kids can do. Give them the tablet and they just take off like a rocket learning. With a few guided lessons and with just the right apps your child will certainly enjoy using and growing with the Leapfrog LeapPad Tablet. we've had ours since my son was 3 1/2 but my God daughter turned 3 this September and she sits down with it and taps away and watches videos, takes photos and tries playing games. great part is they don't grow out of it for a while when they are that long and its so durable that even if a child has the dropsy's its still safe to use. My son has thrown ours several times and it just amazes me that it still works I can't say the same for his other gaming counsel.

Here's a great site that list the differences in a few of the learning systems:http://hubpages.com/hub/VTech-MobiGo-vs-Leapfrog-Leapster-Explorer-vs-Fisher-Price-iXL
