Launched just last month -- and tested/played with/approved by Mashable's Christina Warren last week -- the Woogie is a six-armed, plush case that protects your iPhone or iPod touch from that tiny whirlwind of destruction that is your child. It sports a touch-through screen protector -- so your kids can play Angry Birds to their hearts' content -- and a built-in speaker with a headphone jack.

The toy even has its own free app [iTunes link], which features a Sesame Street eBook sampler that reads each story sample aloud and lets kids and parents record their own voices, among other features.

Kids are getting more and more comfortable with tech and social media these days -- remember the 2-year-old and the iPad, and the fact that 92% of toddlers have an online presence?

Toys like the Woogie only serve to indicate that the next generation of early adopters are adopting, well, even earlier. And to think -- the most sophisticated toy I had as a kid was the ever-terrifying Teddy Ruxpin. How times have changed.

Check out the video below to witness a child frisking about with her Woogie, which retails for about $19.99.
