AIBO is back, and cuter...

AIBO, the first 'robopet', underwent a major facelift, and price drop, in hopes of catching a larger market. The cute robot is little more than a pedigree puppy in cost now (Down from $2500 US to only $850) and has a bunch of silly gadgets to amuse the technogeek-animal lover, such as a motion capture camera and a 'voicebox' which can be programmed to sing little tunes. In Japan, they will interact with a new TV show starring the robotic dogs.

For those with money to burn, the site is Aibo.com
