Go Go Gadget
A new, $930 robot from Japan's ZMP Inc. called Miuro is designed around the Apple iPod. Built in partnership with audio giant Kenwood, it basically transforms an iPod -- which clips into the top of the robot -- into a remote-controlled BOOMBOX ON WHEELS, rolling around and blasting music. Its movements can be pre-programmed, so you can teach it to make an entrance or dance to the music it's playing. No iPod? No problem! It also streams music wirelessly from the installation of iTunes on your comp. Various options, including a camera and other sensors that help the robot get around on its own, are sold separately. It comes in white, black, yellow or red. Miuro went on sale today in Japan, and should become available in the U.S. later this year. Needless to say, I want one. ;)

Ok Who's buying me one for christmas? I wonder if i can get it to fight my robo-vacuum ;)
LOL..
the boombox would totally win.
But at 930$ it's a fuckin expensive fight if he doesn't , you should wrap it in bubble-wrap first. ;)
true the beatbox could play Boy George over and over until the vacuum cleaner rams intoself into a wall. I wouldn't want to waste the bubble-wrap on the boombox ;) There's so many more fun ways to use bubba-wrap ;)
My robo-vac is the current champ, beating out Sony's Dog, Johnny Five and my ex.
