The Leapster Didj is a handheld console made by LeapFrog Enterprises. The Didj was priced at $89.99 when it debuted on August 22, 2008. As with LeapFrog's devices for children, its game library consists of educational software, most of which based on licensed properties such as those from Disney, Nickelodeon, and Marvel.

The Didj is also based on the MagicEyes Pollux platform, originally designed for LeapFrog as the LF1000 SoC and later used on consoles such as the GP2X Wiz. It ran on a customised Linux distribution, and due to LeapFrog's history of releasing kernel sources to their devices (as well as the Didj's low price compared to the likes of Nintendo and Sony), it also attracted a small homebrew community which led to emulators and applications.
