Hasbro's Product Highlights

Tiger Electronics' CHATNOW Two-Way Radio Communicator is the new personal communicator that allows tweens to be in touch with their friends and family in up to a 2-mile range without paying for airtime or signing a calling plan contract. Each CHATNOW unit has its own 'Buddy Number' which can be used just like a phone number so users can make and receive calls directly. Kids can also create a personalized 'Buddy List' so their best friends are never more than the touch-of-a-button away. With CHATNOW tweens can even take digital pictures, each unit is able to take and store up to 30 digital photos that can be viewed on the unit's black and white screen. Users can animate a photo to make it look like their friend is really 'talking' or accessorize the photo using add-on props like goofy eyes or wacky hair-dos, but cannot send or print a photo taken by CHATNOW. The CHATNOW Communicator also allows tweens to send text messages.

Modeled after the popular 'flip' cell phone style featuring a foldable keypad, CHATNOW Communicators will be available in sleek black or sophisticated silver and come packaged with colorful and stylish snap-on faceplates in magenta, limon, or blue. CHATNOW Two-Packs will include an extra set of faceplates and a sticker sheet allowing tweens to customize their CHATNOW device to match their mood or outfit! Accessories include chic carry cases and 'hands-free' earpieces that can play FM radio; all sold separately.
