Toymail adds an app store for its cuddly mobiles for kids
How does a rich toy with no screen run applications, you may ponder? These are solely sound applications — with regards to the first idea for the toys to put correspondences innovation inside the scope of more youthful children (in the vicinity of two and eight) without having them focus on a screen from such an early age.
To be sure, the Talkies — which is the name of the present gen of the toys — look more like teddy bears than cell phones. Be that as it may, turn them around and there's two catches on the back for children to spin through their Toymail contacts, and record/send messages.
Guardians can send messages to children's Talkies by means of the sidekick Toymail application on their cell phones. What's more, now they can likewise stack extra usefulness onto the toys by means of the Toymail Cloud (otherwise known as it's application store).
Applications accessible now incorporate an application called Sleepie, which should send alleviating sleep time sounds for putting your children to rest, and one called Voicie, that includes "fun voice sifting" to the toy.
This first modest bunch of applications has been worked by Toymail, however the startup already disclosed to us it arrangements to dispatch paid application content in future — so apparently some outsider marked applications will be on route in future, opening up an extra application based income stream for the equipment startup through significant business tie-ups.
We've contacted Toymail with inquiries however the organization as of now seems, by all accounts, to be suffocating in a downpour of email subsequent to showing up on SharkTank (where they additionally raised cash) — so presently can't seem to react to our messages. We'll redesign this post when/in the event that they do.
