One robot able to accompany elderly or younger children from home to other places.
Another with ability to hear and process. Then response to the question or greetings.

Google today released its new personalized homepage service. It allows you to arrange your Gmail, Google News, Google Maps driving directions, weather and a few select news services. (Maps and Driving Directions does not apply for Malaysian).
It is easy, just pick the category from the list (not much) and login your Gmail/Google Account. Then everything is saved.

PalmOne 4GB LifeDrive is out for pre-Order in US
Filed under General
The LifeDrive sports built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b and Bluetooth 1.1 wireless. This is perfect for individuals accessing POP, IMAP and Exchange email around the world by simply stepping into a hotspot and running the included VersaMail client. WiFile software will allow you to retrieve documents from your main computer while Blazer web browser will get you surfing on the web. Devices nearby can sync via Bluetooth, print wirelessly to a Bluetooth printer, or dial a Bluetooth phone.
Of course Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Acrobat files are supported.
An expandable SD/SDIO and MMC card slot allow for extra storage and digital photo backups, simply pop in your expansion card from your camera and transfer to the 4GB drive.
The screen is a 320×480 Transflective TFT color touchscreen
And the physical size is 4.76h x 2.87w x 0.74t inches, and 6.8 ounces. A built-in Rechargeable Lithium Ion battery is included, but no estimated battery life was given.
Seems to be a nice Ipod and Handheld PC synergy. But would be kinda big for a mp3 player.
3G user from Maxis can communicate with Celcom or vice versa
Filed under News
It is said the Maxis will be launching their 3G on July this year. Celcom should be following soon, I guess. Hmm…I am with Digi, they don’t have 3G License also.
â??œWe expect to finalise the pricing for our 3G services, like video-conferencing, video streaming, video mail and video file downloads, in about two weeks but rest assured that these will (only) cost slightly more than existing 2G services,â?? Jamaluddin said.
The company’s 3G [Maxis] coverage will initially blanket Kuala Lumpurâ????s central business district, Sri Hartamas and the KL International Airport. Next year, coverage will be extended to Penang and Johor Baru.
