This item was bought for my 8 yr old daughter. It is very compact, which is great, I had visions of a large notebook style item, but its smaller than an A4 page.
This was very good value for money as it does everything my daughter would love a real hairdresser and make up artist to do, and not only for her but for all her friends once she uploads their photo's.
This is easy to use and gives the girls hours of fun.
If you have a 'girly' girl this is for her.

This ultimately ended up to be pretty cool after a week of pulling my hair out trying to figure it out and assuming it wasn't working.

There are no directions or manual but if you do a little digging on the internet you can find it. However, once you get the manual, it doesn't really tell you what you don't already know.

The digital camera included and the upload picture features did not work no matter what I did. I found a phone # on the last page of the manual and perservered thru the automated maze until I found a human to speak to.

Turns out it has something to do with the screen resolution in the display on your control panel. Once I made this change the camera and upload worked - but the screen resolution is now fuzzy so you'll probably want to change back and forth in between using the stylin studio and everything else.

Finally, the pictures on the digital camera are FAR INFERIOR to uploading a jpeg. I wouldn't even bother using this feature.

After all that, my two girls, 8 and 5 are enjoying it alot.

As a technologist I am always looking for great toys to prepare kids for the world of tomorrow and this is hands down the most amazing toy to bring out a young girls creative abilities and bridge the digital divide. After seeing my niece with hers, I am adding one of these to the list for every one of the young girls in my extended family. The stylus is easy to use and durable and the software is just nothing short of amazing!! If you want to give a young girl a present that will be the source of endless hours of entertainment and also give them a chance to express themselves creatively with technology, then this is the toy you need to buy.
