I have to agree with 'GEISRUD' as there is also a company called Global Publications Ltd [www.iBuddy.com] which actually have a registered trade mark and covers many trade mark class's, all of which look like i-Buddy (company above) are infringing upon, iBuddy is a great name, especially for branding, surely before launching a product you would find out about competitors / trade mark issues? You'd be crazy not to! The i-buddy messenger product looks like a fun idea but I'd be very suprised if companies don't complain, especially these guys: [www.ipo.gov.uk]

Reminds me of the "My Therapy Buddy" doll from American Inventor.

Can I get one to sit on my shoulder and emote for me if my face gets burned off?

Does anybody else see the irony in the fact that this thing has the "i" prefix?

I thought this was the iBuddy? I'm confused, patent/trademark infringement?

Wish there was video. Still, I am glad this thing does not respond to "lol" because otherwise it would not last long...
