I have something I'd like to contribute, *big sigh*
Painting your Tama
What you need:
solder
soldering Iron
spray paint
small screwdriver
extra time
parental assistance
How to do it
Unscrew the screw in the back and take it out. Now unscrew the 4 small screws. Take it apart, use the soldering iron to get the speaker wires out of the speaker. Now unscrew the circuit board and take it out. Take out the LCD screen and the little piece of plastic in front of it. Take out the key ring. Now take the buttons out so all you have is the plastic shell. Use the spray paint and paint the shell, then allow it to dry (2 coats will work nicely). Re-solder the speaker wires back to the speaker. (Or, leave them un-done if you want a silent Tama!) Put Tama back together. Your Tama now has a personalized shell!
