Awesome Robot Features An iPod Dock And Is Skype-Compatible !

Veronica Belmont takes a look at the awesome Spykee robot – a mobile, self-recharging, Skype compatible robot that allows you to spy on your home from anywhere in the world using the Internet and Skype’s free video service.
Manufactured by Meccano and sold under the Erector brand, the robot is combination remote spy, home security monitor, mobile VOIP phone, MP3 player and more.
Unfortunately, the Spykee is not available for order yet.
I think a better approach – if you want to keep an eye on your home, the toddler, the dog… – would be to use a service like HomeCamera (www.homecamera.com). Dedicated purpose-built services are always better at these things than combination all-in-one toys for the wealthy (not that I’d be against getting one for free! ).
