The i-spin (Also Known As Sega Rolly)

The next big trend in technology? Dancing robots. Yup. Sorry. It's fate. It's out of our hands. Like this Sega Toys i-spin, it either dances to ambient music or hooks to your MP3 player as a speaker—I mean, how will this not be the next consumer electronics revolution? After all, it dances. To music. So one day when we're sitting in goo to power the robots, it'll be for this, a coupla Sony Rollies and, if we're lucky, one of those gyrating Coke cans from the early 90s. [i-spin] Thanks Ken!

Sega Body Trainer: A Digital Excerise Coach for Your Medical Entertainment

Sega Toy's new Body Trainer is a "medical entertainment" product, we kid you not, designed to guide you through your exercise regime. Taking account of your age, weight and so on, it advises you with spoken prompts along the lines of "Let's start warming up." It actually measures your heart rate with an earlobe clip, so it can tailor its advice and can even detect if you're slacking— you wont get a crazed Army drill instructor-style insult from it though, just a wimpy "please exercise a little bit harder."

Gizmodo Japan: Oshare Majyo Love and Berry Wristband

Sega Toys Sound Carrier = Tamagotchi On Speed

Parents everywhere, brace yourselves: the Tamagotchi is back. Well, sort of. Sega Toys has just released a cute little "Sound Carrier" that incorporates a Tamagotchi-esque pet mode, along with a music player, a voice recorder, and games—so it's basically Tamagotchi on speed. You can also get fancy interchangable faceplates for them. It'll sell for 3,990 Yen (around USD$33) and will no doubt be on plenty of Japanese schoolgirls' wishlists later this month. Who knows if it'll ever make it to the U.S., but if the Tamagotchi's popularity is any evidence, it probably will. More »

Here iDoggie-Doggie

We've already seen those dancing beer can-radios that groove along to FM broadcasts, but now the genre has moved on to "man's best friend." The Sega Toys iDog not only rips off Apple's packaging (like everything else these days) but it's AIBO-like facial expressions take a lesson from Sony as well. Just sit the iDog next to your speakers or plug it into your iPod's headphone jack and watch it dance along to your favorite trax. Seven LED lights in its face flash along to the rhythm and sensors in its face and tail detect light changes and touch to denote different emotional and musical responses. Its built in memory holds up to 70 songs and it can even create simple music through its movements. The only thing it's missing is the iPooper Scooper. More »
