Maybe it's just me, but I never wanted the candy kid colors as a kid. I wanted stuff that looked like adult stuff.

It says hackable, how so? Are the GPIO pins 5 volt logic level safe? Can they be used as capacitive keys, or analog inputs, etc.? What type of connector do you plan to use?

Expected Pricing?

How kid proof is it? Water resistant?

Is BASIC an option for programming language?
