LG's Roboking robovac

Man, what's up with LG knocking everyone off lately? The shuffle, Samsung's entire cellphone business, and now the Roomba? We'll be scratching our heads for a little while over here; in the mean time though, LG, though the HEPA compliance is good, please but don't make this one remote-control only like the ECOvac, ok?

I would have to agree with #1.

"YOU MANIACS. YOU BLEW IT UP. DAMN YOU. GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL."

The older version of this thing was so retro-Futuristic it was an instant collectors item. It was a cross between "The Jetson's" and "Lost in Space".

The best part is LG has designed this thing to great you when you come home.

I love the enthusiasm and passion LG have for the Home Network concept. As long as they can keep showing off in Harrods they will be happy.

I dont think its as advanced as Samsung's VC-RP30W vacuum cleaner. It maps the entire room in 3D.
