R2-D2, let’s count the number of functions thou has. You can strike off ‘Wireless Web Camera’ from the list as well with this new offering from Hammacher. This little number is actually a 628 x 528 pixel web camera that transmits real-time video and audio to a computer wirelessly, boasting worldwide remote access capabilities that enables you to virtually control R2-D2’s movements from anywhere in the world as long as there is an Internet connection. You use a lightsaver-shaped remote to control the droid, and he is even capable of 360 spins. A sensor in front prevents R2-D2 from dropping over a table edge while emitting an audible warning to protect your $349.95 investment from being the robotic Humpty Dupty. One thing that bugs me is the half dozen AA batteries required to fuel this thing.
