Rovio Review

The Rovio is an absolutely fantastic toy robot. And is probably one of Wowwee's best of the year.

The Rovio is basically a mobile webcam that incorporates a mini GPS system that allows it to move around your home with fantastic accuracy!

OMG - it get's even better it has Wifi capability so you can watch your home from where ever you are in the world!! Now I've already got the Motorola Homesight system but the version I have won't work with Vista, but this should not only provide a fantastically interactive toy, but help protect your home too!

You can create routes for the Rovio to navigate around via your pc then when you're out he can keep guard!

The Specs:

• Built-in rechargeable battery
• 1 recharge power base
• 3 motors for the wheels
• 3 omnidirectional wheels
• 1 motor for the camera
• 1 VGA CMOS sensor for video recording
• LED illumination
• 1 speaker for sound playback
• WiFi connectivity using the 802.11b/g protocols

It'll be due around October and should cost around £200.
