Although Christmas 2007 isn’t even over yet, I already have an item on my wish list for next Yule’s Tide.

I’ve spoken elsewhere about futuristic sports that you see in SF movies and think “No one will ever play that.” Well, to that list I add toys of the future that you see in SF movies and think “No one will ever play with something like that.”

Presenting a toy from the future: the Fentix Cube–the world’s first cubic touchscreen computer games platform.

There’s a good article about its possibilities from the BBC here, and you can check out the website of the designer, Andrew Fentem, here.

In fact, this guy’s website demonstrates a whole slate of future toys, sure to ensure many a high-tech Christmas to come.

Oh man, I want one.
