I was just reading about this on the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3513623.stm) :)

I've just noticed it is on BBC as well... cool little beings... :D

I remember reading about them in a mag a few years ago, maybe Res....? but I've been trying to track them down for awhile to no success because I couldn't remember what they were called or who made them... :(

they need to make them bigger though... and arms... they need arms so they can go and get me a tinny from the fridge... :D

they're very advanced.... especially linguistically. Although I'm not sure of how much use they could be at that relatively small size, so maybe they might grow alittle :p

Incredible dev and implementation of technology though, with a world of possibilities... although if I visited a place and it was a 'tourist' guide... I'd nab it.. :eek: :p :D

I wonder what price they'll be once they hit the market?? :D
