That is my assumption (and hope). I love the idea of app-controlled ears... I just need to decide whether to upgrade the kid's v1 glow with the show ears.
I would not put it past them (or almost any company) to do this to get people to upgrade. But I have not looked into it enough to know whether the new version is bluetooth (for example) and just not offered with the original ears. But they are not cheap, would have been great if gen.1 could have the same functionality.
The original Made with Magic (formerly Glow with the Show) operate using infrared (IR) technology. A few cell phones support IR.
The new Made with Magic 3.0 accessories include bluetooth which will work with nearly all cell phones. One would have to assume that the 3.0 accessories also include IR since that would be needed for them to work in the theme parks.
