The Null Device

Cool new high-tech toy ideas debut at New York toy fair: (WIRED News)
The Cybiko weighs 4.3 ounces, has an expandable memory and a PC card slot, and broadcasts at 900MHz frequency. Although its range is only 300 feet, it can be daisy-chained to form a virtual wireless network. There's also an instant message feature, called Friend Finder, and a vibration alert that goes off when a message is received or when friends are nearby.
"The Enigma: The Mystery of the Stone," starts with a pendant engraved with unique symbols for $19.99, then sends players to solve puzzles on the Web, using the stone and its symbols as passwords.
On the site, players seek their Stone mates -- the only other person with the same combination of symbols on their pendant. Working together or independently, the players set out to unravel the mystery of the Stone by solving a total of 216 puzzles. Based on history, science, technology, art, literature, and media, the puzzles encourage players to comb the Web for the answers.
