Feeding Virtual Pets with Tunes

Ah, the lost tribe of mobile technology, the Tomagotchi. Konami has announced a new toy only a Japanese mind could concieve (at least with a straight face): the Otoizm, a tomagotchi-like device featuring a virtual pet you care for and feed – with music. That's right, while you are shouting at your kids to turn it down, you can be breaking your own rules by feeding a growing pet with J-Lo, Linkin Park or whetever fills your music library. Available this fall, retailing for $29. Get your name on the waiting list now.

    The Otoizm, shown at the Tokyo Toy Forum, responds and reacts when you plug it into a music source like your iDog
