Nabaztag gets a smarter sib, meet Nabaztag/tag

Nabaztag was only just birthed onto these golden shores to the quivering delight of geeks a-plenty. Now, just like you'd expect from a dirty, drrrty French bunny, Violet got busy on the quick and conceived Nabaztag/tag for release into the Internet wilds. On display at DEMOfall starting today, Nabaztag part deux brings all that 9-inches of WiFi interactivity only now with a fully-functional mic in the belly for two-way, verbal communication and the ability to play podcasts and web radio. Just an additional Jackson to take the $169 Nabaztag/tag home starting November 18th.

If you guys didn't notice, "Nabaztag" means rabbit in the Armenian language.

From what I've seen of the Nabaztag, it could be both incredibly creepy and incredibly entertaining. And I want one.

okay it looks cute, but really....it seems a little overpriced for what it does.

And I wonder: does it finally do more than just open Wifi and WEP, or is it still useless for me if I wanted to use one at my house...?

The Bunny is amazing. I have had version 1 for over a year and it talks to us every morning. First it wakes us up, tells us the weather and then reads us the New York Times headlines. Often it complains that we dont play with it enough but we are trying to address that. My son is its biggest fan. Every hour it tells us the time and my son goes crazy, "the bunny, the bunny ..."

On a technical note, i have it connected to our lan using 128 bit WEP. Kind of crazy for just a bunny but it works.
