Today while looking at the web, I came across a little interactive bunny from Violet. The nabaztag looked intriguing. After some research (and some disgruntled users comments), I went out and bought one from ThinkGeek.
Call me crazy. Call me insane. The bunny is probably the beginning of something or at least a new time-sink. And, if for nothing else, it's an alarm clock.
What intrigues me is the ability to make it do "stuff." All web-based, via WiFi, commands are passed to it. It appears to be the first commercialized form of many applications used to break down the computing barrier, albeit in the form of a stylized bunny rabbit.
