Cleeener actually,

Its going to have a 1.6ghz Intel Atom, 1gb ram and their going to put vista on it, which means it'll have finished estimating the time it'll take to clean the room about 2 days after you turn it on.

This looks like it'll be a buy when its released.

A close-minded guy from the 50s that couldn't conceive of a black president wouldn't be asking about servant robots; he'd be asking how many black servants you are allowed to keep.]]>Dec 25th 2009 7:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/
Sorry, I meant black *slaves*]]>Dec 25th 2009 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/Lol, it's the 1950's not 1850's, so yes on the servants but no on the slaves, although, many people had a concept of women very similar to slaves..

And my comment was subtly saying that at least we made some advances in the areas of phasing out racism a bit.
But the technology visions from the 50's did indeed not pan out at all, in fact they had vacuums that drive themselves around in 50's movies, ones that did not play in the future, although then they just looked like normal vacuums, the standing ones, but it's true that the development in that area is damn slow, they could have made roomba(-clones) back then with then existing technology really, although powering them would be an issue, and they'd be build in the US and much bigger and heavier I guess :) And be made from metal.

Whether or not this device addresses the issues the Roomba has...we'll have to wait and see...I was going to get a Roomba for Christmas, but after talking to a co-worker and hearing that he has to clean the brushes on his twice a week or else they get clogged, and replace the battery every 9 months, I decided against it.
The Neato will probably be better than this ASUS one, but it will still be something to check out nonetheless.]]>Dec 25th 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/luckily I hate carpets, anyway there are a bunch of different roombas, plus they've gone through a couple generations, maybe the a review on the current ones?]]>Dec 25th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/25/asus-ecleaner-is-ready-to-rumble-with-the-roomba/
