That's kind of what I was suspecting - The Aibo has been around for some time now, but I've never seen one in someone's home - Having a home robot, really could be a good thing, as long as you could get it to do something useful - Despite the claims of artificial intelligence, facial and voice recognition, and tamagotchi-style bells and whistles, I'm not convinced that either the Qrio, or the Aibo are more than as you say, an expensive toy - which is a shame, since the prospect of something like that in the home really is an exciting one.
But I want to be convinced otherwise, any robotics fans out there?
