Smaller, Cheaper, More Annoying Robotic Dogs
from the they-just-keep-multiplying dept
Thought that $1,500 Aibo robotic dog was a bit too expensive? How about a smaller, cuter, friendlier version for just $850? That's what Sony is pitching now, which is sure to piss off those who shelled out twice as much for the bigger, uglier, and not quite as smart version. I'm still somewhat surprised that people actually buy these things. Seems like a pretty expensive, pretty fragile toy, when you could just go out and get a real dog instead.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
