Cheap Cybiko Entertainment System in Cyber Sea Blue (Toy) Price

Among the Cybiko's many functions: Users can chat wirelessly, play interactive games with friends or other Cybiko users, e-mail anyone on the Internet, and nurture the cyberpet, "CyLandia." The Cybiko also has a "Find a Friend" feature that can be utilized like personal classified ads. Tons of new games and internet software can be downloaded daily from Cybiko.com into the Cybiko unit. Also, it stores addresses, phone numbers, e-mails, and even offers a personal planner.

The Cybiko has a few minor limitations: It only downloads from personal computers, not Macintoshes; for initial use, upgrading and "staying in the loop" depends on downloading vital information from Cybiko's Web site, including all Cybiko-compatible games; and users must plug into a hard drive to send and receive e-mails.

Included is one Cybiko unit, equipped with a stylus for keying tiny buttons; a rechargeable battery, an adapter for charging or plugging in; and an adapter cable for downloading to and from PCs. There's also a detailed user's manual to help with the initial programming. The Cybiko is 5.7 by 2.8 by .86 inches, weighs less than 5 ounces, and churns with a 32-bit, 11-MHz Hitachi main processor, and 512 KB of RAM. --Diane Beall
