iTeDDy Instructional Video

The iTeDDy incorporates an MP4 personal media player and features educational activities, games and music. It is designed for children aged three to 11. Retailing at £59.99, the iTeDDy is part of a growing 'edutainment' market for toys and games which enhance learning. Lifting the T-shirt reveals the PMP held in placed by a permanently attached, circular compartment in the bear's belly (do bears have belly buttons I asked myself?). Featuring both a built-in speaker and 1.8-inch colour LCD screen, there are four buttons arranged around the screen providing power, pause and volume level control. A further array of navigational/selection buttons, along with a connecting socket, are located beneath the screen. The connection socket doubles for both power and USB connectivity. Rather than supplying two separate leads, iTeddy comes with a proprietary lead that can be switch between power and USB by connection a supplied 3-pin plug. When used for power, the lead will recharge the built-in lithium battery which should give up to 15 hours of playback. USB connectivity provides the means to add content to iTeddy's play list. The PMP uses a circular menu that can be rotated to give access to content that is classified as audio, photos, video and games. Support is provided for a range of formats that include MP3, WMA, MPEG4, SMV, WMV and JPEG.
