LEGO MP3 player: another brick in your kid's wall of sound
So this is pretty out-of-the-ordinary looking. LEGO's recently-announced MP3 player -- produced through a partnership with Digital Blue -- fits in nicely with the rest of the company's kiddie gadget offerings, though we'll admit that this is probably the first one we're truly tempted to check out for ourselves. These bad boys have 2GB of storage, LCD displays, and unlimited attitude. It's got that sweet brick shape that brings to mind memories of our olden days while staying on top of the latest tech that kids today demand... you know, MP3s of Miley Cyrus and stuff. Right? The MP3 players -- in multi-color and pinkish (for girls) -- will be available sometime this summer for $39.99
LEGO Boombox looks sweet, still can't make your kid's music sound good
The collaboration between LEGO and Digital Blue has already produced a couple of interesting gadgets for the wee ones, so here's another one to add to the stack. The LEGO Boombox is a decidedly low-techish CD player / AM/FM radio, with two 1 watt speakers, and a few buttons to boot. The saving grace of this little guy is obviously its shape -- which is awesome -- but we really need to know if its going to come in other colors (like hot pink) before we can think about buying it. This bad boy is going to be available sometime this summer, and it'll run $39.99
Lego camcorder spotted, great for kids 8 to 80 (sorry Grandpa)
It looks like those Lego-branded Digital Blue devices we've been on the lookout for are starting to see the light of day. This prototype video camera was snapped at the toy fair in Nuremberg -- not too many details at this point, but we're sort of bummed that this one doesn't have the handmade look of the walkie talkie and digital camera we peeped earlier. At least it doesn't look like there are many parts for your child to swallow.Update: We've got some new details, care of Kids Tech Review. The flip-out display has a 1.4-inch color LCD panel, there's five-way navigation on the back and a detachable remote control. No word on what format or resolution it records in, but blocky shooter is due out this summer / fall for $80.[Thanks, Brian]
Lego announces line of digital cameras, PMPs, etc. for your teeny human friends
Lego's just announced that it's teamed with Digital Blue to bring out a line of digital cameras, PMPs, and walkie talkies for children. As you can see, the products will have the familiar "Lego" look to them (though not constructed out of actual bricks), and though we haven't heard anything in the way of specs yet, they're said to be arriving this summer with prices ranging from $19 - $60. Our opinion of these is currently hanging out in the "not really excited" file, but outfit these suckers a set of wheels and we'll probably be sold. Second photo after the break.
