Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Huh.
You know, my first thought (upon seeing it move across the room to play a DVD) is, does it know how far it is to the wall/screen? Or do you have to focus the projector every time that R2 D2 moves about?
It should really have a sonar or laser range finder to find the distance to the wall (or other projection surface).

Truly we live in a Golden Age.
Also, it seems to me that having R2 D2 be your DVD projector - well, that's an almost trivial use of its abilities. Perhaps it could replace your Roomba as well. Or it could supervise your Roomba, uttering chirps and whistles to tell the Roomba, "You missed a spot. There, in the corner. No, the other corner."
And it's cannon that R2 D2 is capable of serving drinks....

Oh brave new world, that has such geekiana in't!
All it needs is a mini-fridge and it is absolute perfection.

Nah, there's still other abilities that would make it more perfect.
Those are nice, I guess.
But I am a simple man. Beer and games is close enough to "perfect" for me.
I don't get the moving across the room bit. If you've got a 5.1 dolby system plugged into it (one of it's "features"), how do you control the mess of cables?

Because if they hadn't built in the ability to move around, the first geek to buy one would have reversed engineered it to move around and made a killing in the aftermarket.
