The teddy bear has been a favourite toy for children all over the world for many, many years, me included. It’s even given as a gift on Valentine’s Day between lovers. It is one of the best gifts you can give, or even receive, and they stay as a loved gift for decades.

I still have a few teddy bears that I received as a small child in my possession. Granted I don’t really play or look at them these days, but they’re still in good shape.

Now there’s a new kind of teddy available - The iTeddy. The iTeddy is a great gift to give any child. It incorporates a Personal Media Player in its belly which has support for MP3, WMA, MPEG4, SMV, WMV and JPEG. The iTeddy has a 1.8″ colour screen too.

The iTeddy has a standard memory of 512Mb, but this can be upgraded by using an SD Card of higher capacity. Getting media files in to the iTeddy is easy enough to do too with the supplied cable. There’s a socket on the iTeddy for this USB cable, but it also doubles as the power socket, so that you can keep the iTeddy charged up.

A great gift to give any child in this media savvy age, I wish there were toys like this available when I was a child.
