My Keepon – The Unexpected Top Christmas Gift for 2011
Thanks to millions of hit on the video site YouTube, one of the unexpected big hits of Christmas 2011 has been the My Keepon. My Keepon is based on the Keepon® Pro, a research robot created by two scientists. The original Keepon was developed to study social development and autism, but when the video went viral the two scientists teamed up with toy innovators Wow! Stuff. On Ebay, in the US, Keepon has been selling for 3 times the market value. At the moment in the UK it is only available for pre-order in a number of different retailers. The company admits that it has been taken aback by the number of pre-orders and it is going to struggle to meet demand this Christmas.
Currently available for pre-order from these retailers (£39.99)
