Dave The Funky Shoulder Monkey Has Elmo In His Sights This Christmas Season


By Andrew Liszewski


I’ve lost count how many years Elmo has been on the ‘most wanted’ list for Christmas, but this year a small robotic chimp named Dave is hoping to be the source of holiday shopping-related stampedes. Tech Digest recently had a demo of Dave, who’s designed to strap to your shoulder and perform one of 30 different actions with accompanying monkey sounds thanks to an included wireless remote. And besides entertaining kids of all ages, he also seems like the perfect sidekick for pirates who might be allergic to the real thing. He’ll be available for ~$40 (£24.99) in the UK at least, and since you’ll be able to find him at Toys ‘R Us stores hopefully it means he’ll be available in North America at some point as well.

Toshiba Satellite L635 Child Notebook




If you have young kids, you may want to get them comfortable with a computer but at the same time, the idea of them using your personal laptop may just send a shiver down your back.


There are a few manufacturers that have come out with kid friendly computers and now, Best Buy and Toshiba have partnered up to announce a Toshiba laptop that is especially made for kids. Kids can be messy little folks and the Toshiba Satellite L635 comes with a wipeable keyboard to keep things clean. It also got a software package that will hopefully keep the young ones entertained for a while.


This laptop is a full sized device that has been made for children between the ages of 5 and 10 years of age. It will come with a 13.3-inch high definition screen display and has an integrated DVD drive and webcam. This Toshiba notebook is an exclusive deal to Best Buy within the US. There is no further information confirming if this device will be available elsewhere in the world.

Motorola Team Already Hard at Work on Update to Fix Messaging Issues in Droid X Froyo Update


This image has no alt text

droid-x-front-back


The Motorola Droid X was updated to Android 2.2 and the world rejoiced. Rejoiced until the bugs started showing up, that is. One of the most glaring issues that many users have been experiencing involves the ordering of incoming and outgoing text messages. Instead of displaying messages from the top down in order of latest sent and received, texts remain static in the position they first appeared on the list. Compounding this issue are reports of intermittent SMS notifications. There is a developing thread over at the Motorola support forums that details the issue further, and it looks like Motorola heard the moans of X owners as a response has been issued on third page of the thread that a fix is already in the works.


Of course, there is no further information available other than that Moto’s engineering team has isolated the issue and devised a fix. When that fix will be available via update isn’t known at this time.


Have any DX users out there experience this text messaging issue? Sound off in the comments below.
