· Score: 2, Interesting
Believe it or not, but when we bought the teddy (some 15), it was already loaded with electronics. It had pressure sensors in different parts of the body, and would talk and teach you the names of its body parts ("Touch my tummy! Nooo... that's my right arm. Yes... that's my tummy! You're smart!").
The chip didn't look programmable though and sound quality was rather sub-par, so we ripped it all out and put in the Gameboy.

You're right... and I guess I can't deny the Theremin served as an inspiration. See the Techno Teddy as the digital reincarnation of the utterly analog, 85-years-old Theremin.
Actually, I've been learning to play the piano for 13 years. The teddy, however, is not for musicians trying to express themselves, it's for geeks wondering what to do with the hardware they find in their little brother's room:D
