An eBook with a difference.  From Engadget, this electronic reader ‘Storyplay’ by Nokia caught my attention for the simply illustrating the possibilities.  It’s designed to enable a collaborative reading activity between a child and distant ‘significant other person’ who are able to participate as a live video chat.

Engadget suggest that the price will create limitations to the market.  I’m just fascinated with the concept.

This video clip shows the actual use.
