The original internet accessed rover is actually autonomous, this one is not. Check out the youtube video at:

The clip shows Rovio using the NorthStar system to navigate around the room on its own. This is part of a remote demo, where visitors to WowWee's booth at CES can command a Rovio stationed at our offices in Pasadena.

This is not a new concept, or novel design. A Youtube reply to the rovio will be up tonight. Also look at lebeaux.biz, full details of this concept have been protect under copyrights since 2006.

This type of robot has been on ebay for more then a year. The rover on ebay has more functionability, including mapping layout in real time and forming network with other robots for interacting with each other. It starts at $299 right now. Search robot rover on ebay, rovio is a hack.

When you are (at least) several months late on your ship date, another product comes along and blows you away. I've canceled my Spykee order and will buy a Rovio. Oh, but go ahead and keep announcing new Spykee models before you've released your first.

Launching/controlling the WowWee Flying Death Orb/Sneetch (Harry Potter Model) would also be a plus.

Say thankya.

OMG! Ponies!

I love the way those things can travel in any direction.

The Rovio comes to a staircase that it can't get up / down and it launches the egg to go up / down the stairs.

Gotta say, WowWee's got a real strong showing this year. At least two of these are allready on my must buy list.
