Julie, remember the Sony Aibo we reviewed a couple years ago? It was $1500 and couldn't do <em>all that </em> much more than this little guy can. Hopefully Robosapien's creator will continue to develop this toy...and will perhaps eventually release a high end model that can do everything we want a mini-me robot to do...like <strong>make me a no-foam cafe latte with 3 sweet&lows and serve it to me on the couch</strong>. :wow: I for one am actually quite impressed with what you get for the price.

It has not been out too long, so I'm sure the price will go down accordingly. Also, I really can't imagine anyone believing that this is a 'real' robot. What kind of real robot would you get for only $90? This is a toy and is being marketed as such. This is very evident if you go to the <a href="http://www.robosapienonline.com">http://www.robosapienonline.com</a> website and watch the commercials.

If toys didn't lose their playability, Judie would probably still be using the Palm OS, and we wouldn't have The Gadgeteer Garage Sales. And because things lose their playability, we must pay accordingly. If you think you'll get $100 worth of play out of it, great. If you don't think you won't, then don't buy it, and don't whine because the price is too high. I don't mean to be hateful or mean in any way, but that's the way I see this.

The motion is not very fluid, it kinda shuffles to walk, you don't have direct control over opening or closing the hands, it basically only has one pre-programmed pick-up motion. It says that it's programmable, which it is, but it doesn't remember the programming after it shuts off. This simply is not the NASA designed, fluid motion, humaniod robot that I thought I was getting. I would wait till retailers realize this isn't a hundred dollar toy, and get it on clearance for under fifty bucks. F. saw this review on amazon.. it hits the mark..
