New Japanese 'Twimal' Toy Reads Your Tweets To You

This digital desk-side companion keeps an eye on Twitter for you.

To busy to read the deluge of tweets that flood your Twitter timeline during the day? Japanese toy maker Takara Tomy's got you covered. The company just announced its new Twimal toy pet that will read all your tweets aloud. 

There are two models, a blue one that speaks with a male voice, and a white one that speaks with a female voice. The Twimal's are only compatible with Windows, and once connected to your PC via USB will keep track of all your tweets, replies, even up to three harsh tags. 

Watch the promo video above to see how they work.  There's no word on if they can read English tweets, but if you're still interested, they hit stores on March 31.
