What is "swinxs"

Swinxs, developed by Dutch company Swinxs BV, is a so-called ‘games console’ for children between the ages of 4 and 12 years. The screen-free games console is suitable for in-and-outdoor play and makes use of RFID technology, audio and light. The portable console engages kids in physical, creative and educational play by using its voice in combination with sound and color. Swinxs was first introduced in the Netherlands in spring 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008 Swinxs was available in the UK, Spain, Portugal and Italy. The Middle East and South America followed in early 2009. Since August 2009 Swinxs is available in the United States.
