Rubik's TouchCube

A snip at only £140. 8)

I love the look of that, but I think I shall be sticking with my poor man's Rubik's Cube for now. Any Rubik's enthusiasts getting a TouchCube?

I want one, though can see it actually being harder to solve at speed than a standard cube with vaseline (and lube, if you are with a friend, drunk, and not horny, whilst at university ;)) inside it

I'll stick with my standard cube...because this expensive one doesn't look like it actually twists, surely it would actually be harder to solve the cube quickly?

Love

No, it doesn't sound like it twists; you move the colours by swiping them with your finger. I think it would be harder to solve than a normal Cube. Could take some getting used to. If it was a tad cheaper, I might give it a go.

I have a tendency to drop rubik's cubes so I don't see myself getting one anytime soon. Very cool though.

Barton: Yeah.
Pete: Yeah, I think so. Anyway, I've heard about it.

I may well order one.
