The bells of St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa, tolled for 10 minutes at noon on Tuesday, December 28, in honor of the late human-rights campaigner Desmond Tutu.The former archbishop and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, known for his work as an anti-apartheid activist, died in a Cape Town nursing home at age 90 on Sunday. There's also preloaded activity challenges that encourage children to move. But the LeapBand also doubles as a Tamagotchi of sorts: children can redeem points, choose from one of eight animal avatars (such as a cat or robot), and then feed and nurture that avatar. Children can spend those points on games and more features within the device. The LeapBand chiefly gives chidlren commands (such as 'wiggle like a woman') and then rewards them with points. It sports a colour screen, accelerometers, a water-resistant blue, green, or pink construction, and a rechargeable battery that provides up to six days of life. The gadget, called LeapBand, is ideal for children between the ages of four and seven. LeapFrog, the maker of numerous educational electronics for youngsters, announced today that it plans to debut the first wearable health-tracker geared specially toward children. LeapFrog has come to the rescue however and unveiled an affordable wrist product for tots. Smartwatches are everywhere, but they're usually expensive gadgets limited to teenagers and adults.
