WowWee Robopet reviewed

PC Magazine recently spent some time playing around with the
Robopet, the latest household bot from WowWee,
the company behind the Robosapien and
Roboraptor. They're left a bit disappointed by this latest effort, however, saying it falls short of the high design standard set by WowWee's other robotoys and, at
$99 US, is overpriced to boot. On the upside, it does do plenty of cool tricks and is small enough for a desk, but it also apparently tends to fall off said desk (it has sensors in the front, but none on the sides or back). It also doesn't have a volume control, so unless you enjoy annoying your co-workers, you'll probably want to keep this pup at home.
