iPod Goes Walkabout

Blimey, doesn't this lady look happy!  I guess the sight of a drunkenly wandering robot iPod dock is enough to tickle her giggle-buds.  However, I'm not sure if it ticks all of my boxes, frankly.  It's clever, I suppose, but wouldn't it be even more clever if you could load sound-based programs and thus use it as a logic learning toy for kids?

As it stands you can use remote control to guide the little critter and, in the future, they promise cameras and sensors for greater autonomy.  At $930 you'd really have to want your music to – literally - follow you around.
