Original: Why the LeapPad couldn’t survive the iPad

A retrospective piece examines the decline of the LeapPad, LeapFrog's dedicated learning tablet for children, and argues it was crowded out by the iPad as families increasingly chose general-purpose tablets over single-purpose kids' devices. The discussion touches on how cheaper iPads and a flood of tablet options made specialized educational hardware harder to sell.

Why now: Renewed interest in the fate of dedicated kids' tablets as consumers compare them with iPads.
