Portion of "satisfied" Palm Pre owners
Of 40 Palm Pre users polled in August, 2009, 87 percent termed themselves "satisfied," with 45 percent saying they were "very satisfied."

wow, everyone is betting on iPods nowadays. I wonder how long this craze will last...
why does Fisher Price think that kids have an iPod in the first place? a very strange product indeed
hey, you havent been to a elementary school lately.
I have seen people in 2nd grade with an ipod nano.
Hey, my fiancee saw a toddler in a stroller with white ear buds in her ears. Her mom said she loved her iPod. Don't discount the buying power of ankle-biters.
Hay - is for horses.
yeah, f.p. assuming kids have ipods isn't a stretch. my 9 year old sister has a 30gb ipod with the star trek theme song (yes, one mp3). my 6 year old sister has a nano she doesn't really understand.
Just have to quote Tobias Fünke from Arrested Development: "Oh, I just blue myself"
i dont see why the have to use the proprietary ipod connector
y not just a headphone plug
"Can't wait until the circuit benders get their hands on these..."
I thought of BT the second I read this. Hahaha! I suppose those in-pipe motion sensors only have on/off sensitivity, and not incremental control based on distance from the pipe end or something like that, as that would probably jack up the price a fair bit, but this still looks pretty interesting. And yeah, young kids do have iPods. I was shopping for new headphones a week or two ago, and there was a kid (couldn't have been more than 10) there with his mom and they bought an iPod nano. All I could do was give the mom a couple of recommendations about case use and alternate headphones (when the family's finances were to recover, that is :P).
yay now you too can create the same music year after year and call yourself original for doing it!
The "jam along with your favourite (sic) tracks" line is very laughable. I doubt anyone who was not at a Blue Man show ever even considered buying a Blue Man CD.
There's hope for Tobias Funke!!
Spider Tactics: You're probably right. But after I saw the show, I had to pick up the CDs. It's unusual music but it's also a lot of fun. And the 5.1 surround sound mixes on DVD are awesome. The Blue Men aren't for everyone, but I've learned to love them.
We'll have to see if this toy lives up to the reputation of the Real Thing.
Why does everyone think that this is a Fisher Price product? It isnt. It is a ToyQuest product, and probably the most well built product that the company has ever made.
Will this thing work without an iPod or equivalent Mp3 player?
I heard a lot but for that yet not.can we use it without ipod or not.
