    Sony Aibo

    Anyone got one?
    My missus bought one yesterday, cant get no sense out of her now, not that I could anyway....

    For those not in the know, its basically a robot dog, a bloody complex one at that!

    It has, amongst other things:

    Voice recognition
    Owners voice and face recognition
    Understands over 100 commands, and learns more as it matures
    Camera
    Touch sensitive pads
    Finds its own charging station and goes to it when nearly flat
    Learns tricks with a bone and ball
    Has wifi to create its own blogs and uploads pics to the net
    Talks to you and answers questions
    Streams music from your pc
    Can read your emails out
    Contact it over the net
    Security mode, will take pics of anything that moves while you are out

    And tons of other stuff I will no doubt be hearing about soon

    That picture was spinning me out, as i was reading your description the eyes kept lighting up. I didn't think we could have animated images embedded in the threads.

    Looks like a cool toy/ gadget though..

        I didnt realise it was animated!
        Just a normal gif image I found on google images.
        They are awesome bits of kit, and the technology packed into it is mind blowing... just dont ask the price

              you'd have an untapped niche market for a new website though

                My Missus would love one (and secretly I would too! )

                Just had a look at the prices on ebay . Just a battery is £120!

                  This product line was canned by Sony in 2006. Enthusiasts only now I would imagine...

                    My missus paid a grand for hers, and that was a proper bargain!
                    If you can find an ERS7 running Mind 3 software (the last and best ones made) they often fetch upto £1.5k

                    My brother lives in Tokyo and bought one just before they stopped selling them brand new, and it was £2.5k

                      What happens if you put it in your S2 and leave it on guard mode?

                        It would fall off the seat, or the battery would go flat LOL... or some chav would nick it
