 "Cute Cool Wild Smart" They forgot "Obscenely Expensive." It's true that this awesome-looking bot can do more than the WowWee Robosapien right out of the box (like talk to your LAN and send pictures to your desktop and respond to commands from your PC over its WiFi link). But these who-cares capabilities will cost you US$7000!
A Robosapien (Version 2, US$250) can do many of nuvo's tricks as-is, and using the many online hacks and Robosapien hacks books, you can add most of nuvo's bells and whistles yourself (at a fraction of the cost).
BTW: Check out the upcoming Robosapien V2 commercials here.
More images of the nuvo and Tech Specs after the jump.
