Furby – I’ve never owned one and barely used the original but am seriously interested now. Only time will tell how well these can adapt to new situations, especially since the originals showed their limits pretty fast. I am most interested in the interaction with smartphones and tablets, which is sure to create lots of interesting ways to expand uses for the toy and its functionally. This thing is just begging to be hacked.

Google Nexus 7 – Price wars always create some great (or terrible) devices. This device definitely seems to fall on the great side though. I am completely fine with the 7″ form factor and hope there are any many more Nexus tablets to come. Plus, it should get Apple to drop their price on a potential iPad mini.

Amazing Alex (iOS/Android) – Calling all Incredible Machine fans, you should probably download this. Occasionally aggravating, often clever, it is an overall pretty well crafted puzzle game. Not sure what I think about Rovio just buying the previous company, but the result isn’t bad and being able to create levels is a blast.

Nifty Mini Drive (again) – Support support support. They are past their goal, but just want everyone to be aware of this cool device.

Dark Knight Rises Z+ – While I may never be able to shake the thought of Bane’s walrus voice, this app is a great way to get back into the world of The Dark Knight Rises. I was a big fan of the previous scores for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, so this has been a very interesting way to experience this new soundtrack. The score itself hasn’t sold me yet, but the app definitely has.

Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase One 10-Disc Blu-ray Box – This is just insane. Want.
