Keeping Up with the Jetsons

Nabaztag WiFi Rabbit

Those Jetsons have nothing on you.

Okay, so you may not have a skateboard that can travel at 1,000 mph or a friendly robot maid at your beck and call. But you’ve got access to the new Nabaztag bunny.

The action-packed robot rabbit (not that kind, sicko) can wake you up, give you the weather and traffic reports, read your e-mails aloud, and check on stocks. It can even get you the latest news from the RSS feeds at Reuters or CNN.

All work and no play? Not for these floppy ears. The rabbit will tell you its mood (“bloody boring”) and assess your week. You can even connect it to its soul mate (chosen by you), and its ear movements will be synchronized in your own special ear language.

All you need is a WiFi connection, and your new pet is ready to go.

Top that, Astro.
