Just need to install the "Genuine people personality" program and I can have a Pintsize of my own.... 8-)

Welcome!
Yeah, I've seen many of these guys.  I just want one to get it right.  The problem is that the cool little things the individual robots do, aren't necessarily useful enough to fork over money.  Essentially it's a voice controlled remote control, which would be an awesome feature on a fully functional robot/computer/telephone/printer/scanner/webcam/talking/moving/singing/dvr machine, but otherwise it's a paperweight with servos that can change the channel.
Remember 10 years ago when we had furbies?  You'd think we would have come a little farther than, "It changes your channel for you."
Where is my Sumomo persacom?!  It's been 10 freaking years! 

While we're at it, wheres my name brand flying car?

Doug S. Machina:
The fiirst thing I thought of looking at that was "Dispensing product. I don't hate you."

JD:
I thought the head look a bit like the heads of turtles from nemo.
