I don't know about others, but most of my rooms would not benefit from a robot that couldn't pull cords /magazines/raised carpet rugs/etc out of the way, and I have a fairly neat place compared to my friends!  I just can't imagine that work that well, but some people seem to be really happy with them (of course I admire the hell out of Rooma for releasing tools that makes hacking with your bot easier) so here is something else for them to get excited about... if they have the money.  Also on the topic of Blu-ray, are there many Blu-ray released in Korea?  I know they are ahead of the curve for most tech. related product, but I thought next-gen dvds were mostly on the same ground.<br><br>... that brings up another question, I thought HD-DVD was suppose to be out with their players and discs months ahead of Blu-Ray, but TV ads and Best Buy inserts only show DVD and Blu-ray disc, what is really happening to HD-DVD's supposed lead?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tony Rayo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 12:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[$200 roomba will probably do better. And as for the wood floors, I have 100% concrete floors and the roomba is perfect. Solid/hard floors are definitely best for the roomba, because it doesn't have to strugle at all to move around. And in response to Tony Rayo, if you have magazines/cords/etc on the floor, your cleanliness-factor could definitely benefit from getting them off the floor anyway! Then buy a roomba!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[antiver]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 1:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[Call me when they are smart enough to empty their own dust bins.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wry Cooter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 3:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[I also think that they look like a cheap stereo.

The automated vaccuums are cool.  It amazes me that they can analyze you floor layout, vaccuum, and then know how to get back to its charging station.  They are definately over priced though.<br><br>Samsung makes awesome displays, so awesome Sony uses them.  Why would they invest in the R&D  of a vaccuum?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jason]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 4:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/102/C8556/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/102/C8556/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stoop and Scoop]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 5:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[to OP: Korean people sit on the floor a lot. it's quite normal]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[uhhh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 6:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[They probably also data log so you can determine which houshold member is responsible for producing most of the waste.  <br><br>Imagine the ability to track and analyze waste content produced in various sectors on your environment.<br><br>Unfortunately America has no manufacturer as innovative as Samsung.    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[miniplayer.info]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 7:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[They missed a key design feature of the Roomba - thin enough to clean under the couch. <br><br>Oh wait, I guess it doesn't need to do that...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[kiteboy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 10:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[About the difference between VC-RS60 and VC-RS60H, only the "premium" one, VC-RS60H, has remote-start function via normal phone connection and ultra-violet floor sterilizer.<br><br>source: <a href="http://www.sec.co.kr/" rel="nofollow">http://www.sec.co.kr/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[stan1ey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 4th 2006 10:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[114.4mph  holy shit.<br><br>i could have done the math wrong though...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maxed Out]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 5th 2006 2:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung is back with new robo-vacs]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/04/samsung-is-back-with-new-robo-vacs/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'd rather have a Roomba any day.
