Nabaztag
April 9th, 2006
I’ve been toying with the idea of getting my grubby mitts on a Nabaztag (pictured right). A Nabaztag is a WiFi-equipped robot bunny that can keep you up to date with news, weather, emails, RSS feeds, messages etc. by glowing and wiggling its ears. You can even hack your own apps for it, apparently. Ben Hammersley has one and has linked to some services and apps being created for it.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the quirky little Nabaztag is a French creation, and perhaps this is one of the drawbacks - some of the useful services are only available within France at the moment. And having flipped through the English documentation on the website, I’ve been left a bit wanting on the technical information front.
Still - they look fab. And alright, I know it’s a gimmick. But it’s a very cute gimmick. I mean, the ears can move! Look at him, he’s adorable. It’s almost too hard to say no…

Chris, you know I respect you and that I think you’re one of the smartest people I know. But you’re an idiot.

I believe I linklogged my near-overwhelming desire for one of these little beauties a few months back. I’m not sure you’ve fully understood the ramifications of this one, Armand: it glows. And wiggles its ears.

One of the best resources for these critters is, of course, del.icio.us.

Hello,
My Nabaztag is called Marvel … and as i was looking on feedback about the Nabaztag (which makes you even more intelligent than before you had one ^^), i can inform you that the advanced english translation of the whole website is in course …you can write me, if you have any questions.
And don’t forget to … to what ?
Beautiful hours to all,
