The 2nd Generation of Sony Entertainment Robots is here.
It looks kind of like a cat, with its small ears and small tale. But I think it is still a Dog.
It recognizes it's Name and a Voice commands (50 words in all).
It can take snapshots via voice commandand and also has a optional wireless LAN card!

I guess I will skip on that new laptop and get a new pet.
