Can we stop these unboxings unless you can include an actually demonstration or a review? I'm not that big of a styrofoam fan. It's frustrating to see a product finally get unwrapped, and then have the video end. I like good packaging as much as the next nerd, but it's not worth a post.
I have to agree here, how about unboxing a nice big chocolate cake in front of a bunch of kids, then send them away without a piece?
There were about 4 videos contained it the post from the product demo by Wow Wee, dig a little deeper in the read link site.

I'm waiting for the amphibious one, the RoviWade. That's my choice.
Ouch. :-) That was ill-conceived.
@frankXchange:
Pun intended or not with "ill-conceived"? Either way, it's made my morning :)
Intentional. I liked your 'delivery.'
Just thought I would let everyone know - I clicked the Rovio link at the top of this article, and got spyware from the page that opened.
Yaaay Windows!
Still waiting to find out if it's possible to control it from mobile IE, or Firefox, or Opera, anything from my phone would be cool.
Yay! kiwi drive.
I am the webmaster for that site and there is no spyware on that page. I see that you just joined Engadget as a user today and that this is your very first comment ever, but would you mind providing the name of the tool or test that you used to make that disturbing claim and a link to the vendor so I can investigate it and run the same test? Thanks.
From above it looks kind of like a robotic trilobite.
