Hackaball Could Be the Toy of the Future

This may be the greatest invention ever!  A computer you can drop kick or throw at your friends without breaking it!

It's called Hackaball.  The title gives it away doesn't it?  Yep it's a ball.  A Kickstarter campaign is now underway to mass produce it. So how does it work?

There is a computer inside the ball. Children use an iPad app to program the Hackaball to do what they want.  They can make the ball change colors, shake, make a noise, even talk!  Inside the ball are sensors that detect motions like being dropped, bounced, kicked, shaken or being perfectly still.

This sounds like something no kid can resist, and it's educational too!  Kids get to develop their computer skills and get some activity time in too. Hackaball is a very cool toy.

Also expensive, because you have to have an ipad to program the thing.

They need to make it so the cheap tablet people (like me) can use it too.

So what do you think? Does it sound like something your Kid would want for Christmas?
