What if...

we could make a super fun children's book series that could read and speak in 4 foreign languages,
and sing and growl and gurgle and help you children learn to read. That'd be good right?

and is reprogrammable to speak in any voice, even your own

and easily adapt text books to read themselves out loud -

in any language - and play movies, access databases and connect to the web.

and make board games that tell stories
and call your sister's cell phone and play video clips or Skype your best friend for help

we can do these things right now
cheaply, just printed surfaces and a simple handheld device
a device that could work on anything we can think of printing

a reusable and flexible device that costs $50 or so. Retail

That'd be great. We'd really have something, right?

Almost.
