Seems like test units are already in the hands of some Orange Marketing teams (in France) for some weeks now... so June for a launch date could clearly be possible (don't know how buggy or not those units are...)

AAAAAHHHHHHHH.... Sometimes a news make your day... and this one will definitly make mine !
Please, please make it ! My Aïbo is filling so lonely and ps3 is so dummy
Enjoy your day

Don't know anything (or so few) about American politics.
But it's "funny" to see that in France "right" politicians seem to be a lot more activ than their "left" counterparts on web and social tools.
UMP (which is main right group) and it's leader "Nicolas Sarkozy" invest every part of the web and its "keywords / buzz" (blog, chat, podcast, forums ... they even speak about using peer to peer...).
Internet has become "the media" to adress young voters.
They've been "so far" (too far, according to some people), that a debate emerge two weeks ago about politics and blogs (sort of "press vs politics" former debates).
P.S. : there're major elections in may 2007 (president + parlement) ... so every body is little bit nervous on subjetc in France today.
P.S.2 : very interesting blog

Have a nice day

I'd love one to walk my aibo.

But, WAIT A MINUTE !
South Korea will rule the world ! (For one or two days at least...)
And France will go on strike to protest against this new change in a global / to much fast mooving world, and a new proof of global (everything is global, today you now ! Except French conception/understanding (?) of the world ...) capitalistico robotico manipulation taking place today lead by USA and Asian fanatics (of course).
STOP ROBOT BEFORE THE LAND OF HUMAN RIGHT (France for all of U ignorant, aka not French) DO IT ! (Or try for one or two years at least ...)

Why am I saying all these craps ?
Don't know. I started dreaming on this Robot in my place ... and it came to the old (too old !!!) country I'm part of ...
But be sure of one thing : When robots will be everywhere (except in France), everybody here will explain you (stupid foreigners that don't understand the world in which we are living .... stop beb stop, be quite...). So we'll explain you that it was a French who first invents robots (maybe Jules Vernes ???), and that ther's nothing new in it. That's why we don't give a s.... (aka a Euro in R&D) in this sort of primitiv artefacts ...

I need my passport. Or maybe just this bot

Enjoy your day, You poor foreigner .... stop beb stop.

Where do I pre-order ?

My first bug with the Nano appears even before I get it = Yesterday (while I was at the Apple Expo. Yes I'm still French) I've been called by a guy from TNT trying to acces to my place for delivering "my" brand new Nano. I gave him the secrets codes (hehe ther're two secrets codes like DrNo place's ..) and hanged off being sure my Nano was waiting for me at home. I came back (with a mac mini in one hand and a powerbook 12" in the other ... I couldn't resist)totally excited ... I put appart the two macs and jump on the Nano box. And here is the bug (remember, the bug which is the meaning of this long post) : IT'S NOT MY NANO !!!! I explain. It's a Nano, it's a 4Gb Nano, BUT, it's a black one(and I booked a white one) , and more off all : it's called Zancudo, and mine should be Beb ... So ZANCUDO's owner, if you read those lines, I know that's somewhere in this small planete (maybe just in Europe), you're waiting for you're black 4 Gb Nano. Don't worry, it (he ? she ?)just make a "bad turn" in Paris, but I'll send it back to Apple by the end of the week (I've just called them). ZANCUDO will be well treated. It (he ? she ?) is still in its case, is very wise, and is patiently waiting for finding it's way back home. Hope mine we'll be well treated also.

4 Gb White one Named : Beb Just booked it Will be my first Ipod ... in one week
