Disney AppMATes: The New Mobile Application Toys for iPad

Introducing Disney AppMATes - a new line of toys that comes to life digitally when used with an Apple iPad allowing kids to use the tablet's screen as a virtual play mat. The Appmates toy line features miniature Disney•Pixar Cars 2 vehicles with sensors on the base of each toy that are recognized as a unique footprint by an app with no cable or Bluetooth connection required. Simply download the free Cars 2 Appmates app from the iTunes app store, place your favorite Appmates toy character on the screen and play. Ages 4+

Toys available Oct. 1 at national retailers, Apple Store, Apple Store online, Disney Store and www.DisneyStore.com with vehicle two-packs featuring four characters including Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Finn McMissile, and Holley Shiftwell. Two additional characters -- Francesco Bernoulli and Shu Todoroki -- will launch in November and be available exclusively through Apple Store and Apple Store online.

My kids and I spend plenty of time outside. If using technology is a mark of laziness, then what are you all doing wasting time on YouTube, LOL! I use this game as reward for schoolwork, chores, etc. Like any technology (TV, computer, video games, phone, etc.) there is plenty of room for abuse; it is up to parents to set reasonable limits.

I have an anti-glare/anti-scratch protective film so scratching is non issue.

My 4 and 6 year old absolutely LOVE this, as do I. Very fun!
