Disney Enters PC Market

Zebbers writes "Disney announced today from NYC that they are entering the personal computer market. With a childish design, built in content control and other kid-friendly features, it could be a breakthrough or just another specialized device flop. Do children really need their own specialized computer?" johnpaul191 points out that frogdesign designed the box, and writes "It looks sort of like a squared-off eMac (but blue), and has a flat mouse-shaped front (the ears are speakers!). It uses a a pen for on-screen input, as well as a keyboard and mouse."

Aww, c'mon... a 128 MB upgrade and your kids will have the best of nightmares for years to come! =)

I find it very interesting when a brand-new, off-the-shelf machine that is at the high end of price for its product class, is inadequate for recent common publicly issued software. Says something about either the type of consumer it is targeted at (ones who don't know specs) or the company issuing it (charge a lot more for inferior goods) or both.
