Note specifically Jim Buckhouse's Tap--part of Creative Time's Beaming Network, Tap's collaborative, evolving, quirky app hops on to your Palm-based device through a sleek silver beaming cube. (I freaked out when I saw one of the cubes at a local Barnes and Noble ... especially when I realized that I knew the person who made them. ;]) Here's how Tap works. Get some culture, people!"

i think you are referring to tamagotchis. they became popular in around 1996 i think.
going OT a bit: on a side note, i never found a authoritative answer what "tamagotchi" actually means. various translations i heard over the years include:
- Egg-friend
- Watch inside the egg
- Lovable
- Love-me
- Care-for-me
any native speakers can shed some light on this?
