In many ways it's a charming little thing...so what has me so concerned?

If there's enough interest in this subject there are other similar competing devices that I can take a look at in the future. 

Once I de-register this one from my account I'll pass it on to a friend as their child should love it. 

I'm still dealing with plenty of off-screen drama, so I've just managed to squeeze this in. 

Hope you're all well...take care. 

UPDATED

I’ve uploaded a re-edit which also includes some additional info.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early too, you can sign up to Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/techmoan

This seems like it could be a good way for a blind family member to listen to audiobooks. They've really struggled since we moved away from tapes and CDs. The cloud bit does concern me though.

When you said "I'm sure folks will say what a great idea, I could build this" I instantly envisaged each Tonie as some sort of "wireless flash-drive" which the player streams audio off via some sort of induction system for power and serial comms. How disappointing to learn that it's just a kiddie-friendly appliance accessing a cloud service. I'm glad you touched on that before I reached my keyboard - it's a dealbreaker for me I'm afraid. A system where the avatar contains the actual content would be something you could be confident would work for years. And, hey, it would be yet another niche media format
