According to BusinessWeek online, toy manufacturers are seeing red both figuratively and financially; children are flocking towards handheld gear like MP3 players and are shying away from normal "toys." Toy companies like Leapfrog are combating this new trend by developing toys that are more neo-tech like the Fly Pentop Computer, which can recognize what you write and give voice feedback based on input. For example, write "October 31, 6:00pm - Scare Children" and you will receive a reminder at 6:00pm on Halloween to terrify the kids! (Like I needed a reminder for this.) This new trend is a good thing for all I think - technologies developed for toys will start to appear in consumer electronics, and visa-versa.
