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?"

    Man, kids these days! Back in my day, we were happy with pencils. And crayons, man, a pack of those could keep us happy for weeks, until nothing but little stubs were left!

    Now kids got all these newfangled toys with bright color lcd's... it's almost sick! I bet they don't get the preverse pleasure of drawing on walls with 'em thou...

    Websurfing done right! StumbleUpon

    I'd get him/her an Etch-A-Sketch for $10 rather than this $50 "creativity device", as the article calls it.

    Hell, I'd get my cow-orkers a $10 Etch-a-sketch instead of a $3000 laptop! Pocket the difference. They'll never notice.
