Would you buy your child an iTeddy?

As seen on Dragons' Den. I'm not going to link to their site as I'm not advertising them, but anyone who is a Friend Of Google can find it.

The guy got the patent for combining an mp3 player and teddy then? Richard Farley seemed pretty sure he wouldn't.

I don't like the idea, personally.

And I wondered about tyhat i- prefix too - not seen as treading on Apple's toes then? The name does rather imply it is an Apple product, like iPod and iMac.

The i-teddy did seem to be rather missing the point about why it is good to read to your children.

But UQD's i-babe is definitely a goer (fnarr).

kathy - you see, that's why I am in the wrong job...

And the i-Teddy failed the Duncan Bannatyne test for the very reason you have mentioned!

I wonder which of his children Duncan Bannatyne reads stories to - the ones from his first marriage, or the ones from his second

Well, I imagine the ones from his first marriage are now grown-up!

The male Dragons do seem to have enormous broods.

They do seem to have a lot of kids between them?

Is there something wrong with a man having two families though?!
