Ubooly A snuggly friend hiding an iPhone

1 An interactive friend for littl’uns, Ubooly is keen to tell jokes and stories, play music and create imaginative adventures. The interface is bright and simple, the voice recognition features largely accurate, and the toy can even be roped in to help with bedtime routines – which is likely to win over parents. Sure, the plushie itself is simply window-dressing for the iPhone and iPod app, having no real functionality in itself, but it’s cushioned enough that small children will be able to play to their heart’s content without much fear of smashed screens.
