Are you looking for new iPhone accessories to add to your collection? Then check out the new MY3D 360-degree handheld viewer from Hasbro.

Using advanced Hasbro-exclusive 3D technology and 360-degree content viewer, MY3D delivers top of the line entertainment and gaming to iPhone and iPod touch customers.

Optional cradles are also available to be used with specific iPhone or iPod touch models. Hasbro MY3D supports iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and second, third, and fourth generation iPod touch.

To start the 3D experience, you must first download the MY3D apps from Apple’s App Store. The current apps available are MY3D PRESENTS, MY3D 360 degrees SHARKS, MY3D SECTOR 17, MY3D TELEPORT L.A., MY3D BUBBLE BOLT, MY3D TUNNEL PILOT, and MY3D SHATTERSTORM.

Talking Microscope

By jrjuan on Jan 25, 2010 No Comments

Remember the macro and microscope that was featured the other day? Now, here is another alternative for you, budding biologist. The difference with this one is that the Talking Microscope can be used for kids that are 5+ while the macro and microscope is for kids who are 8+ plus, this one talks.

While this is suited for younger kids, don’t let the age number fool you since this is still packed with scientific features. This has 5x magnification that would let your kid see a whole new world within the small creatures that he used to squish with his hand. While on a slide, the microscope talks and tells facts about the specimen being examined where your kid can learn new things. The quiz mode on the other hand tests your child’s ability to remember what has been taught to him. As he breeze through the answers, it makes the information almost permanent (as you know, a kid’s brain is like a super-hold sponge). While the operation seems to be complicated and all, it is very easy to learn with the 7 Spark Cards which illustrate the microscope’s operations in easy to understand diagrams and pictures. For parents, there is also an included “Lab Assistant” guide for you to be able to help your kid use the microscope. Actual user reviews show that the Talking Microscope is fun, durable, and easy to use.

Explore 12 slides that depict real-life specimens from brine shrimp to scorpions with the Talking Microscope.

Macro and Microscope for Your Little Biologist

By jrjuan on Jan 23, 2010 No Comments

Yey! It’s your kid’s birthday! You should be prepared with everything since birthdays are huge among kids since they don’t have to worry much about work and stuffs. Well anyway, have you thought of a nice present? You would want something that would be used for a long time and would be very useful. Giving a book could be a bittersweet thing since some kids love reading while some hate. Then point exactly that you want him/her to be a biologist by giving this microscope!

This microscope can work up to 400x magnification letting the kid see the details up close. The 400x magnification would be enough to see a plant’s cell wall or the cell composition of an insect. If you feel that 400x magnification is too much, a 40x magnification on macro mode could also be chosen. The microscope is made of die-cast metal base and high-impact plastic body to ensure durability and the soft, textured hand grips would allow easy carrying. This microscope has a bulb so no other light source is needed in case it is dark indoors.

Each set includes two insect cross sections, two plant cross-sections and one slide featuring a real 900-year old Peruvian mummy wrap! Five additional vials of specimen are also included and blank slides for your kid to collect himself.  The necessary slide preparation tools such as tweezers, eye-dropper, measuring beaker, and spoon are also included.

Get this cool macro and microscope now!

By phoebz on Dec 4, 2009 No Comments

Ever since you were a kid, were you fascinated about the solar system, which includes the sun, planets, moon, constellations, stars, and even mythical characters? If yes, then perhaps you already did some things just to get a closer look at space while your feet remained firmly planted on the ground. Okay let me guess, you’ve tried looking at the moon, the stars, and the planets using a telescope, right? Or maybe, whenever there’s an eclipse, whether lunar or solar, you try to use solar filters, welders’ goggles, fully exposed and black-and-white film, or even your camera just to witness such rare phenomenon. Those were the days, eh! But then again, even today, you can always enjoy looking at the space and the night sky without boarding any rocket ship.

It is also designed with built-in hand grips for easy navigation and allows you to set the season, date, and time for year-round use.
