New Rubik's touch cube is almost hypnotic

There's electronic BattleShip and an electronic Monopoly. So an electronic Rubik's cube was probably inevitable. Today one was introduced at the American International Toy Fair, and it promises to be just as frustrating to solve as the original one. Well, perhaps not quite as frustrating, because this one has a built-in hint mode, and will even teach you how to solve the puzzle.

With an advanced touch screen interface, it keeps track of which side is on top so that you won't scramble the cube by holding it on the sides and bottom. It even gives you a choice of sounds to make as you virtually "rotate" the cubes, allowing you to choose between a modern sound or the classic cube sound. All this for just $149. 

For more info:  or save $139 and buy an original Rubik’s cube (or one of the endless variations now available)
