I think iTeddy and Teddy Ruxpin should have a battle royale. It
would be kind of like Terminator 2 where the old-fashioned
Schwarzenegger T-800 model (Ruxpin) would be fighting the high-
tech Robert Patrick T-1000 model (iTeddy). But since Teddy
Ruxpin isn’t the star of the movie I’m pretty sure iTeddy would
destroy him with his superior features.
You see instead of a cassette player mounted in his chest iTeddy
has a personal media player with 512 MB of built-in memory that’s
also expandable VIA an SD card slot. The media player can be
used to listen to MP3s, watch videos and view photos and can
even be removed from iTeddy’s chest once the child feels they’ve
outgrown the whole teddy bear thing. There’s even a companion
website where you can download content and parents can record
messages and stories for their kids to listen to. But I have to ask,
they couldn’t have come up with a more original name than
iTeddy? That’s just lazy iMarketing if you ask me.
