The Tag Reading System by LeapFrog is an optical pen that can read aloud from specially designed story books. Touch the pen to any word in the book and it says the word out loud. It can read a page of the story, the entire story, or just one word at a time. The pen also interacts with pictures in the book and can be used to play simple reading comprehension games. This is the up-to-date version of those read-along records (or tapes) many adults remember from their own childhood (when you hear the beep, turn the page).
Moreover, parents can connect the LeapFrog Tag Reading System online to collect fun rewards their child has earned and to see their child’s play and learning on the LeapFrog Learning Path!

The ultimate Prehistoric Pet is back again with great new features. D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur 2009 combines robotics, sensors and reptilian-like skin to create a lifelike appearance and behavior. He’ll walk, chomp and roar. Like a real pet, D-Rex will follow the sound of your voice, make funny noises and protect your room with his roaring guard mode. Now you can even teach D-Rex tricks, programming him to perform a sequence of up to 30 actions.
Dinosaur lovers of all ages are in luck!
The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur 2009 is a friend, guardian, and prankster all rolled into one toy. Designed for kids eight years and older, this dinosaur –brought to life with “biomorphic robotics”– features over 100 sounds and movements. Using a bone-shaped remote,D-Rex responds to an “attack” command by roaring and stalking a victim, and he wags his tail when kids pet the back of his head. D-Rex’s level of interaction increases with the ability to memorize and perform a sequence of up to 30 actions.
Using the bone-shaped remote control, kids can program D-Rex to perform a number of actions from up to 25 feet away. Pressing “attack” mode makes D-Rex stand alert, and pressing it a second time sends him on a roaring rampage. In “guard” mode, D-Rex stiffens and scans the room, moving his head from side to side. At the first sound of an intruder, D-Rex will roar to alert you.
Start roaring now and get the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur 2009 with US $89.99 with free shipping (you Save US $60.00 that’s 40% off!).

Have you every wondered exactly what your cat or dog gets up to when you’re not home?
WowWee Robotics, the pioneering company behind Robosapien, gives you its new WiFi-enabled, remotely-controlled robotic webcam platform.
Known as WowWee Rovio Wi-Fi - the 3-wheeled telepresence allows you to interact with its environment, surveying the home or office remotely through streaming video and audio transmitted via the Internet to your cell phone, PC or video game console. Video is captured through a built-in camera and NorthStar smart navigation boosts the units ability to act autonomously.
Working like a micro-GPS system, the NorthStar navigation and positioning system enables the WowWee Rovio Wi-Fi robot to know where it is, locate the position of other objects, and accurately navigate through its environment under its own control.
Got an iPhone? Enter “Rovio Driver” the new application available from Bertrand Leroy on the iPhone App Store.
With a quick download and a few settings, you’ll be up and running in no time.
The free app adds head position / rotation controls and the camera view appears to be much larger than the standard version.
The WowWee Rovio Wi-Fi is now US $ 315,17 (and that’s 10% off its regular price!)
Let’s face it, when it comes to humanize robots smooth-walking, sleek-talking and obstacle avoidance ability are the most requested features.
But now think again: what’ more human than a robot that’s able to learn your own insults and talk nasty (and we mean nasty) when hitting objects (just like us, by the way)?
The Insultabotz creeps forward with its six insect-like legs and will avoid objects in its way. It can detect objects with its infrared eye and move accordingly, and while it does so, it insults you!
The Insultabotz robot comes with a re-recordable voice chip that allows you to pre-record any message or multiple messages (up to 15 seconds) and Insultabotz will repeat them in sequence every time it comes to an obstacle. Of course, they do not have to be insulting messages-but Insultabotz is not shy about giving you a piece of your own mind.
Warning! Remember that not only can your parents hear what Insultabotz says, they can record messages on Insultabotz as well.
So, listen carefully, the insult you hear may not be your own.
For ages 14 and up.
Batteries (and insults book) not included.
Insultabotz price is now US $ 69.99 (and that’s 30% off the regular price), so you won’t insult your credit card!
Update: Jun 21st it’s Father’s Day! Don’t you dare giving your dad such a threat a gift !
According to the Tomy i-Sobot website, this is the world’s smallest humanoid robot in production, as per Guiness World Records. With 17 servos and only 6-1/2″ high, it could be.
And I should be one to talk about the “smallest”.
The Tomy I-SOBOT stands a mere 6-1/2 inches tall. The articulated joints give the i-Sobot an incredible range of motion. And, it’s fun to pose.
>The Tomy I-SOBOT requires 3xAAA batteries, and Tomy has included rechargeable NiMH Sanyo Eneloop batteries. The remote takes AA batteries (not included). Tomy says it should run for 60 minutes under normal use.
When you power it on, the i-Sobot stands upright. A green “eye” lights up. A blue side-light on the side of the head can be turned on and off separately.
There are two switches on the back. One is for power, the other is a channel selector. The remote control is infrared, and the IR sensor is on the robot’s shoulder.
Tomy I-SOBOT is powered by 17 customs developed servo-motors and 19 integrated circuit chips. He features a built-in gyro sensor and comes fully assembled, ready for action. He can be controlled in a variety of ways: by pre-programmed actions, user programmed actions (done easily with the LCD remote control), or by real-time remote control or voice commands.
We love toys, we love robots, we love technostuff that moves and so on.
But this is another thing.
It’s the Revell Vexplorer!
Revell Vexplorer is the ideal robot kit for the novice builder. Complete with detailed step-by-step plans, this almost-ready-to-run kit comes with pre-assembled modules making it quick and easy to build. Best of all, your robot is compatible with VEX Motion and Structure parts allowing you to expand and grow your robot.
The Revell Vexplorer comes in a huge well-protected package with a carrying handle. You won’t miss this box on the shelf or under the Christmas tree! Inside the box is a huge styrofoam tray that has each of the pre-assembled modules as well as the compulsory bag of parts needed to finish the assembly.
The foundation of this project is the lower hull that consists of pre-formed and pre-holed aluminum C-channels. The workmanship is excellent. Two of the C-channels are pre-installed on the drive systems (actually serving as the mounts for the axles, motor and drive gears.
But it’s much More Than A Toy!
With more than 300 parts, the Revell Vexplorer allows users to create, experiment, and play with endless combinations of radio-controlled robotic activity. Designed by Revell Monogram, this robotic design system is endorsed by such prestigious organizations as NASA, Carnegie Mellon, and FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). Young and old electronics and robot enthusiasts will have a blast learning about robotic configuration through hands-on experience. In less than an hour, users can construct their very own robot. Compatible with the entire Vex system, the Vexplorer can be easily expanded using optional Vex accessories and mechanical parts from other Vex machines.
More than a mere toy, the Revell Vexplorer boasts its own built-in spy camera, transmitting live color pictures with sound to any standard television. Utilizing a camera receiver module box, it broadcasts video over distances up to 150 feet. The Vexplorer also makes lifting and moving objects around both fun and challenging. The claw is strong enough to pick up a full 12-ounce can, yet delicate enough to handle a bird’s feather. By simply keeping the claw control held down, the sensitive, soft plastic grip material keeps things clenched. Setting a can of soda back down without dropping it is another story — that takes practice.
Built with a sturdy, metal base, arm, and arm support, the Revell Vexplorer can stand up to its share of wear and tear. It operates with many metal and durable plastic pieces, including four motors and 24 gears, as well as cables, harnesses, tools, screws, nuts, bolts, and more. The six rubber-like plastic tires with tread grips make for easy rolling over most even surfaces. However, getting over some bumps can prove frustrating, if not outright impossible at times.
