Who remembers when the original Rubik's Cube first became a global craze? Anyone? That was 1974, and according to Wikipedia, it still sells better than just about any other toy.
But this is the digital age, so techie toy maker TechnoSource decided it was time to make an electronic version of the diabolically challenging cube. Instead of physically twisting slices of the cube to try to turn each side all one color, you slide your finger along the top, and the colored lights make the move for you. You can also ask the Cube for hints, undo moves, and even get it to solve itself. Confused? Just watch the video.
The cube (along with its charging dock) is out now at some Best Buys; the official on-sale date is October 18th, so you have less than a week to save up the $150 you'll need to own one of these beauties.
That looks like fun! Definitely a must-have office toy if you're a geek like me, even if it's a little pricey. (and you can still get the original Rubik's Cube for like 10 bucks in department stores)
