The Twimal Gadgets by Takara Tomy Read Your Tweets Aloud

— March 30, 2011 — Pop Culture
If you're following so many Twitter accounts, how can you keep up with a fast-paced timeline unless you have the Twimal Gadgets by Takara Tomy do it for you?

Keep organized and don't get overwhelmed by your frenzied feed with this uber-cute reading device. In an adorable design, these tweeting toys chirp the latest updates and your replies aloud--it's like having your own Twitpet right beside you. You can choose from a blue or white animal, which represents male or female, so you can choose to have your Twitter mentions spoken to you in a male or female voice.

The Twimal Gadgets by Takara Tomy hit Japan's shelves on March 31st, 2011. Hopefully it finds its way to North America so that I can have my own reading Twitpet too.
