LEGO gadgets
many unofficial LEGO gadgets have been on the market for some time now, but next month will see LEGO themselves
release a digital camera and MP3 player developed together with digital blue.
LEGO worked with the atlanta-based company who specialize in children's tech-products for a range of gadgets that
includes walkie talkies, boomboxes, alarm clocks as well.

'our entrance into the youth electronics space will enable our fans to express themselves through photos,
videos and music, while displaying their enthusiasm for one of the world's all-time favourite toys'
said jill wilfert, lego group's vice president of licensing.
the boomboxes can already be bought from digital blue online and from various leaked images it seems that
a video camera and a mobile phone are also in the works though no release date has been announced.

What a waste of time and money. lego should stick to helping kids become creative and constructive. Would have been better if they concentrated on robotic modules which when put together would have yielded interesting results

I agree with the wiz...some of the products like the camera, mp3 player and video camera are visually appealing but they are too bulky and provide no value-added features.
The only ones I would consider buying would be USB flash drives (if they are somewhat competitively priced) and LEGO cell phone covers. The rest are a waste of R&D
