Way to cute!
Advanced technology, new software applications and a pearl black color have been incorporated in the latest version of the robot, offering more personalized interaction, new tricks and even the ability to house sit. I'm not too sure about the house sitting part, but the stylish color variation does provide a welcome alternative against the other pearlescent-white AIBO robots in the product line. - blog
My favorite part? The house sitting.... when it start's to vacuum my house, do the dishes, and calculate my tax return, then it will be the perfect robotic dog! (Excluding its mandatory 'chase neighbor cat' functionality.)
The one big disadvantage over a real pooch would appear to be the lack of someone else to blame, i.e. if the chocolate cake disappears or worse if there are bad smells you just can't blame the plastic dog. But you can kind of share the guilt with a labrador!
