Of course, being a UbiDuo seller, my opinion may be biased 
The key operative word is WORK, as in what works? What faciliates communication between the deaf and hearing in the most effective manner?
Besides sign language and lipreading, what else works in face to face communication?
A pen and paper pad works. A Nintendo DS works (yes, someone uses it as a communication tool with the built-in graffiti program). Email, IM and/or SMS between two cell phones may work, if available. And of course, the UbiDuo works.
A messenger toy? It depends on reliability (how long until it breaks), keyboard, speed of sending and receiving messages, etc. Only time will tell if it will yet be another tool of communication. I’m not holding my breath on this one. Given the choice between the toy thingy and the pen/pad, I’ll take the pen/pad combo any day.
