Smart e Bear has hit the mark with bringing together technology and simplicity in a soft easy to use traditional looking toy. Smart e Bear can be a simple huggable plush bear for your child, or when you turn it on it becomes a music player, story teller, and game player. My son's Smart e Bear has almost 90 minutes of content loaded and it takes up less than 10% of its storage capacity, so you get the idea of how much this little guy can store.

The Smart e Bear online store has lots of content to purchase and free content as well. Songs are .99 cents and I purchased an interactive story and a game for 1.99 each. Interactive stories have decision points for your child to decide where they want the story to go, and games can test memory or listening skills. There are also narrated stories by colorful narrators with music and sounds and voices. It's easy to purchase content via credit card or Pay Pal and you can listen to 30 second segments when browsing the song area. The software also knows which songs you have purchased so you don't have to worry about remembering.

Smart e Bear also has a huge list of children's names so it can greet your child by name when you turn it on. With so much content available Smart e Bear will always be fresh and new to your child and not get boring and repetitive like hard programmed non updateable electronic stuffed animals. Now if YOU need a break from the bear before your child is ready to stop, not a problem, it has a jack to plug in headphones!!

Customer service is also great. I had a non technical question which I emailed and called (left a message) about and the customer service rep returned my call (left me a voice message) AND replied to my e mail knowing that I was the same person, just to make sure they reached me and that my question was answered. Their website also has video tutorials to show you how update the bear incase you are not sure how.

This is a great toy/educational tool that you can always change up to keep fresh and new. It's a winner! "
