Fun Gear For Teens And Kids Alike!

(Toys for teens and kids alike! is an excerpt from Digital Life by the Straits Times, April 1, 2009)

A Digital Life reporter, Tan Chong Yaw, checks out the fun gear for kids (and teens).

1. ITeddy

$69.90, from Toys ’R’ Us

Ages 3 up

This cuddly teddy bear has an MP4 player in its belly.

The player with a 1.8-inch colour LCD screen and speakers displays photos and plays tunes and videos. Content is downloaded from a PC to the player via a USB cable.

Bump up the built-in 512MB memory with an SD card.

The player is, too, removable.

Verdict: good for teens and kids alike!

2. Pixel Chix Secret Life of Pets

$59.90 from leading department stores

Ages six up

Like superheroes, these video game pets- choose from a puppy or hamster- have an alter-ego.

These electronic pets can be groomed and fed.

The action hots up when the box is turned upside down. The pets’ beds become DJ tables and the pets transform into singing and dancing stars.

Join two Pixel Chix houses and the pets can even cross over.

3. dr. eye 8.0

$129, from the Besta store at Funan DigitaLife world.

Ages 13 and up

Okay, this may not be a toy but it can raise your brain cred in school.

For the teen who needs help in Chinese, this can help you. It is a translator.

Of all, what do you like?
