Sifteo Cubes get FCC teardown, not so cute anymore

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.
