    Posted on July 9, 2012

    It is a universally acknowledged fact, one that parents have accepted and stopped trying to fight, that kids nowadays have eyes only for their parent’s phones and not their actual toys. With this in mind, the toy manufacturers Little Tikes have announced the launch of a range of iPad and iPhone-friendly gadgets, aptly titled iTikes. The range will include four iPad-friendly kids’ toys that will come with accompanying apps that a re both entertaining and educational at the same time. The iTikes toys include a keyboard, map, microscope and an art canvas, which are stand-alone toys on their own. But when you connect them to your Apple device, they gain additional functionality as high-tech toys. The iTikes Discover Microscope comes with 3 focus adjustments 100x, 200x and 300x, with 12 slides each, containing 3 real specimens each. The iTikes Canvas is a large case in which to house the iPad, with a series of hardware buttons that work as stamps within the accompanying drawing app. The iTikes Piano lets you plug in your iDevice and with the free app learn how to play the miniature keyboard! The iTikes Map allows kids to look at six different maps of music, cultures, countries, space and more. The idea is that you’ll be able to press the buttons on the iTikes Map case to initiate animations, factoids and other bits of information.

    New kid in the block: Ouya Hackable Android Game Console

    Posted on July 5, 2012

    What would you say about an Android game console that’s designed to be hacked and only support free games? I’m sure this console called Ouya will receive mixed reactions, as free games aren’t always free. Anyway, the console can connect to a TV, with a high-concept developer ecosystem. Any developer will be able to publish games and receive a devkit with the Ouya console. The console is getting great support from designer Yves Behar who’s on board. The project’s advisors also include Ed Fries of Xbox fame, Amol Sarva of Peek, Peter Pham of Color, and counts Julie Uhrman of IGN as its founder and CEO.
