Sifteo's cute little gaming Cubes have grown up a lot over the past
couple of months: they've undergone two name changes (from Siftables
to Cubits to Cubes), experienced the gaming rites of passage at CES,
and now these 1.5-inch full-color computers are making their FCC
debut, including the ritual teardown. The not-so-cute internal photos
show one of the Cubes, guts exposed, revealing a 32-bit ARM processor.
Also buried in the FCC documents is evidence that the darling devices
communicate with computers via a 2.4GHz USB dongle and sport a three-
axis motion sensor. Sifteo's already sold out of its first round of
pre-orders, but we're guessing we'll be seeing more of the adorable
little guys sometime real soon.
