Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Nokia Storyplay Unites Parents & Kids for Bedtime Stories

— November 2, 2009 — Life-Stages
For the on-the-go business person who can’t always be there to tuck their kids in and read them a book before bed, the Nokia Storyplay is the answer. This innovative new e-Reader combines video streaming, a physical paper book, and everyone’s favorite Sesame Street character (Elmo, obviously) into one awesome learning tool.

With the Nokia Storyplay, the parent doesn’t necessarily have to be physically present with his or her child in order to enjoy reading time with them. On one side of the Nokia Storyplay is a video streaming component that connects the remote parent to the child while the other side offers continual footage of Elmo. It also comes with room in the middle for a removable paper book. Watch the video to see how it works!
