[ Chinese and foreign toys network news] Children like plush toys , but if the plush toys can interact with the children, it is even better. This is what startup Ubooly does, putting Apple's iPhone or iPod in a plush toy to provide an interactive experience for kids. This idea has now received $1.5 million in seed financing.
Ubooly is the result of Carly Gloge and Isaac Squires, which uses Apple's mobile devices to provide interactive games with voice recognition. The toy was brought to the Kickstarter show and successfully achieved the goal of raising $25,000. Also on the TechStars Boulder 2012 class, The Founders: Season 3, for them to reinvest $335,000 in venture capital. Toys have been shipped last week.

Ubooly now also offers a new way to play, allowing players to interact with characters without the need for physical toys. They also introduced new authors to ensure that the content is updated every two weeks.
The biggest problem Ubooly faces now is that the toy just fits into the iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, but the iPhone 5 and the 5th generation iPod are too long to fit completely into the toy pocket (newly shipped toy pockets have deepened).
However, Ubooly co-founder Carly Gloge believes that the launch of the iPhone 5 is good news for them, because Ubooly just provides the opportunity to use the old things for the eliminated iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S and so on.
Ubooly has plans to support the latest versions of iOS and Android, but at present its main focus is on old devices, because children often get old phones left by their parents.
Totoya Creatures and Griffin's Woogie are the ones that make this interactive toy, but Ubooly's plan is more ambitious. They hope to create a thriving ecosystem around this toy, and its app not only needs to learn to grow with children, but also to adapt to specific user stories. For example, they are developing a GPS tracking application that can provide a virtual guided tour experience for vacation kids.
The seed money received this time will be used to promote and develop products, but obviously the content is the key to Ubooly.
