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!

Nah, there's still other abilities that would make it more perfect.
- Feed the cat
- Fix your computer
- Night watchdog (note: will not detect giant killer millipedes)
- Using wifi, go online and make airline reservations, etc.
- When highspeed internet is down, pick up phone, immitate sound of modem to dial into ISP, engage in chat with ISP tech rep to fix your broadband.
- Make appointment for broadband to be fixed, then let repair person in (thus satisfying the "someone must be home" requirement).
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.

It was an optical out for Dolby 5.1. No mess. One cable.
Not that this necessarily makes the situation any better, if you're plugging in to a 5.1 system, but I think you put the R2 unit into position, then plug in your optical cable. Otherwise you just use the virtual surround housed in the droid.

So you impress everyone by using the MF remote control to put R2 into position.
. . .
Then you get up out of your recliner to plug in a cable.
Smoooooth...
Or, you know, you get one of those rotary Imperial computer ports, and have R2 connect to that for the surround sound.
I'd like it to toss me my light saber.

I'd like it to toss me a beer.
