PDAs For Kids

Posted by Hemos on from the get-'em-young dept.

fiftyfly writes "Wired's running a story about the Pixter - a sort of etch-a-sketch/palm love child. At an estimated $50.00 I'm sure someone out there must have had a go at hacking it. No mention of anyway of getting the drawings off, I'd imagine that would be a good place to start. For $75CAD I'd give it a go, eh?"

    The last thing we need to do is geekify kids even more. It's a sad trend... what we need to do is give these kids members of the opposite sex. Let them have some old fashioned fun, instead of becoming attached to their computer, etc at age 4+ and never leaving the house (yes, that is a bad thing). WTF ever happened to lincoln logs?
