iPads and tablet computers in general are the talk of the computing world. It was only a matter of time before they started aiming the product towards kids but at least they made it so darn cool.
Disney has released Appmates, small Hot Wheels-sized toys from the Pixar movie Cars, that physically interact with the multitouch screen on the iPad. The cars from Cars "drive" across the screen, with racing and other games reacting to the cars' movements. Disney calls the technology a "virtual play mat" where kids can experience the world of Radiator Springs. That's pretty darn cool.
The cars sell for $20 as a 2-pack, with the companion apps available for free. The toys go on sale next month. And for those parents who are starting to get worried it won't harm your iPad at all. Can't give that excuse to your kids anymore...
