Cybiko,
Inc.
If your kids love the latest and greatest in cool
technology then they will flip over Cybiko.
This combination PDA/Game/Wireless Communication Device is off the charts
in the "awesome" scale. Besides
its sleek look, Cybiko comes with so many features that it more than justifies
it's +$100 price tag. There's a
tiny keyboard, calculator, address/phone book, alarm, personal planner, phrase
book, text and graphics editor, journal, music composer, and task manager
(whew!) The wireless messaging and
multiplayer game play options with another Cybiko user (good for up to 150 feet
indoors, 300 outside) really excited our testers.
Everything about Cybiko combines to make this a functional, fun,
knock-your-socks off, "Can I have one, please? I'll do the dishes all
month!" winner.
Recommended Age: 9 and Up Price: $129.00
Over the years manufacturers have created a number of new
methods to safeguard our families from life threatening disasters including
fires in our homes. Fire alarm
technology has advanced tremendously with smoke and other sensors that detect
danger. The Safe Escape system is
not a new fire detection method, but it does use new technology to aid your
existing home fire alarm system. When
your alarm is engaged, the Safe Escape system comes to life, shining a series of
red laser arrows on the floor of hallways and stairs to point the way safely out
of the house. A red laser beam of
light penetrates through smoke to light the way.
Parents told us that while they recognized that this was not a
stand-alone safety device, it nevertheless impressed them with its ability to
support their existing alarm system. To
their mind, you can never have enough safety when it comes to your family or
your home.
Price: $59.99
