If you’re lucky enough to be in NYC or Chicago this January, you’ll be able buy yourself a copy of Wired Magazine and see first hands the world’s first interactive print ad!

It’s for Motorola’s new range of Moto X phones, and allow you to customise the colour of the handset, by touching a coloured circle on the printed page. Pretty cool huh.
Here’s a bit more info from the full article:

To drive home the ‘customization’ concept behind Motorola’s Moto X Mobile phone, Digitas, with some help from T+Ink Technology, has created the very first interactive print ad. Select copies (only 150,000 distributed in Chicago and New York) of the January edition of WIRED magazine will feature a print ad that allows you to begin designing your own Moto X phone by simply pressing on colored buttons to change the color of the back of the smartphone’s case.
