Amazon.com Product Description
Who says education and fun don't go hand in hand? The portable VTech V.Smile Pocket Learning System combines video games and educational content for brain-building, on-the-go game play or connecting directly to a television at home. Specifically designed for children between ages five and eight, the Pocket V.Smile is a fun way to learn for both enthusiastic and reluctant students. Built For Kids
The Pocket V.Smile's full-color LCD screen with a 320-by-240 pixel resolution competes with the "big kid" video game systems. A unique alternative to other systems, the V.Smile is built inside and out with young children in mind. The big buttons are made for a child's hands, and the games build skills in spelling, logic, counting, problem solving, phonics, and vocabulary. Kids get so engrossed with the V.Smile that they won't even realize how much they're developing their minds in language, science and math. Because they can carry the handheld device wherever they go, kids can learn and play independently while parents can rest assured they are providing something healthy, age-appropriate, and educational. At Home Or On-The-Go
With the included A/V cable, the Pocket V.Smile hooks up directly to televisions as well, requiring no additional equipment. Not only does this option keep kids in one place and allow them to learn and play using a larger screen, but it also makes it easier for them to share the in the fun with friends and siblings -- even parents. More Favorites
The Pocket V.Smile plays all the same "Smartridges" for the original V.Smile system. This learning system comes bundled with one Smartridge called Zayzoo My Alien Classmate, which teaches skills in math, shapes, time concepts, music, directions, English, and more. A wide selection of other wholesome video games are available separately, involving many favorite characters like Scooby Doo, Dora, Thomas, and Shrek. The Pocket V.Smile requires four "AA" heavy duty batteries (included); alkaline batteries are recommended for longer life and optimum performance. What's in the Box
Pocket V.Smile, one Smartridge, A/V cable, wrist strap, manual, and four "AA" batteries. 
A portable learning system that goes anywhere or connects directly to the television for gaming at home. | 
The battery-operated pocket console plays a variety of imaginative games, including all other V.Smile Smartridges. |

 V-tech V-smile - LOVE IT November 5, 2009
Chris Happel (QCA, IL)
My daughter was jumping up and down over this toy. She was counting, adding, using language skills and smiling the whole time. I literally had to pry it from her hands several nights when she fell asleep playing it. This is also a very good car ride toy. Parts are easy to keep track of and give hours of quiet play. No more "Are we there yet?" every 10 minutes, only every couple hours.
 JUNK!!! September 24, 2009
H. Kusilek
I have purchased 6 vsmile, and/or vsmile cyberpockets and all of them have stopped working shortly after purchase. I have tried using only batteries, only the 9volt plug in, and still the system shuts down, and never powers up again. So disappointing. I have 10 games that are useless to my kids, because the machines are junk. Don't waste your money.
Bad graphics. Can cause eye strain September 12, 2009
Jacinto Godinho (India)
I purchased this a while back (actually forgotten I owned it). It was shelved due to the bad graphics. For example when playing Winnie the Pooh, you can actually see 'several' pooh's as you move him around the screen. Similarly the trees and other items in the background sort of 'multiply' as you move around... kind of similar to a high graphics game played on a computer that is short on memory. Of course my kid enjoyed this toy, until I tried it myself - and wasted no time getting 'rid' of it. If you do not have the problem I described here on your purchase, good for you, otherwise I would not recommend purchasing this item. Screen scratches easily too -for an item that is supposed to be designed to be used 'on the move'(I do own over a dozen toys from Vtech and am very satisfied with most)
Glad it didn't live up to the poor reviews! August 26, 2009
boomerang (TN, USA)
I bought this in July of 08 and wanted to wait to write my review to make sure I left an honest one. I found this on sale for [...] at target. I got it for my daughters 4th bday because she loved her big vsmile. I never buy without researching, so I was heart broken when I got home and read all the bad reviews on amazon. I just knew mine was going to be riddled with defects.
I'm glad to report over one year later and this thing is still going. It is a tank! We also have a 3, 2 at the time, boy. It has been thrown, dropped, water poured on it and taken on at least 10 road trips. We own all the games and my kids just love it! They'd rather play it than the big one on TV. Don't hesitate to buy this! I've decided that when this one finally does die I will purchase another one because it is priceless to me and my children!
Kid tested, Mother approved!!! June 25, 2009
Jeesely
My son Loves his Vsmile Pocket. I definitely recommend it to other parents for their kids. He's dropped it quite a few times and it still works great. My only recommendation is BUY RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES! You won't regret it.
