Baicizhan

First of all, the app tells you how many English words you need to learn every day. That’s not all. It can also be very fun. The learning process is like playing a guessing game. Instead of just showing the Chinese and English meanings of a new word, the app asks you to first choose the correct picture from four, according to an English description. And then, you can practice remembering the new word in other ways.

Douban FM

A digital (數(shù)字的) radio app like Douban FM might be the right music app for you. Without a play list, you will never know what the next song is. Songs just keep playing one by one. You can use the “heart”, “trash” and “skip” buttons (按鈕) to mark the songs you like, don’t like, and want to cut short. Those marked with a heart will be kept in another list as your favorites for you to enjoy again at any time you want.

Moment Camera

App stores have too many camera apps with filters(濾鏡). They are all designed to make your smart phone camera better. But which one gives you the best influence Moment Camera. Many people like this app because of its sequence shots (連拍) and different-sized frames (邊框) for photos. But the best thing about the app is not what it does, but what it leaves out. It is simple, clean, and easy to use.

Flipboard

It is one of the hottest news apps right now. But the difference with Flipboard is that you can make everything personal to you. Open up the app, choose whatever interests you, and click the “+” button. In the end you’ll have your own magazine with news, articles, and information. So unlike the boring magazines you read in the past, you can be sure that every page of this one will interest you.

Roll over, sit and fetch aren't commands normally given to a robot, but the smart toy company WowWee has developed a new way of owning a puppy.

CHIP(Canine Home Intelligent Pet) is a robotic dog with blue LED eyes and pointy ears and can sit, shake, dance and make all types of dog noises. It also has tracking capabilities to help locate its owner." The beauty about CHIP is that it has its own thing going on," said Sufer, CTO at WowWee." It has its own life and own kind of intelligence. Even if you're not around, it's always doing something."

CHIP uses wheels to get around and is loaded with sensors(傳感器) that give it a 360-degree view to find its ball. The pup is Bluetooth enabled, which connects to a wristband worn by its owner. The wristband, similar to a watch, displays icons(圖標(biāo)) for different commands such as a thumb-up, which allows you to give your pup a digital belly rub. With its owner wearing a smart wristband, it can even follow him around the room.

"We worked on CHIP for about five to six months," Davin Sufer, told dailymail.com, "We typically come up with a concept, model and product and get it on shelves within a year." The company plans to start shipping units by next fall, which will allow them to load up the robotic dog with sensors and add many more animated responses per-owner interactivity.

The high-tech toy company made its debut(處女作) in 2004 by releasing the 1.5 foot RoboSapien, which sold millions of units. MiP, which hit shelves last year, is a seven inch tall robot covered in white with black accents. Users can direct it, change its emotions and make it dance to any song on your iPad. It's loud, fast and active.

About 15years ago, a company called ToyQuest developed the first ever electronic robotic dog——Tekno, the Robotic Puppy. The company sold over seven million units in the first season and 40 million more during its original four years of production. Tekno was built with over 160 emotions and instructions, but most importantly offered consumers a quick look into the future.
