Leap Pad 2 VS Innotab 2

Does anyone have experience with these? I have a 3 year old little girl, and she's already learning to read. I want to get her one for fun and also learning. Anyone prefer one over the other? Thanks!

We got the Inotab2, but haven;t used it yet because it's an Xmas gift.

Here is a pretty good review/comparison article:

I can't speak for the "2" version of either tablet, but DS got the original Innotab for Christmas last year and we love it. I actually like that it's bigger than the Leap Pad, even though the screen is not. Just seems easier to hold. It's also cheaper in general - the unit itself, games, accessories, etc. which is why we bought it. It was also easier to find (as in, I had zero trouble finding one and I got it 40% off). DS is also already doing some reading and I think his Innotab deserves a lot of the credit for that! I'm jealous that the new one has a camera. I was going to get him the VTech camera, but now I'm considering just upgrading his Innotab, though I don't think I'm going to be able to get that past DH. LOL

We have the leap pad, and DS LOVES it! He got it last Christmas, and still plays it. It is easy to use, and I can plus it into my computer and download add-ons or track his developmental progress.
