Rubiks TouchCube splashes modern day onto timeless classic


Were having a tough time recalling the last year in which not one, but two new Rubiks Cube spinoffs were launched, but sure enough, the Rubiks TouchCube is gearing up to join the Rubiks 360 at the American International Toy Fair. Christened the "first completely electronic, solvable Rubiks Cube," this one maintains the shape of the original but replaces the colored stickers with actual lights. Users ready to engage their minds simply hit the scramble button on the cube, and then rearrange the blocks by swiping their finger. Theres no mention of when this will take store shelves by storm, but were pretty sure itll be around for the pre-Christmas rush. Oh, and you know you cant wait to hack one, which was darn near impossible on the analog version. In-action video is just past the break.
