WowWee Rovio Wi-Fi Enabled Robotic Webcam Tech Toy

This cool looking Wi-Fi embedded robotic WebCam tech toys has been on sale for quite a while, but now the prices seem to be going down from $230 when first released to half that, about $130. at Amazon.com and eBay.com.

At a price of only $130, I think it's time to give this little tech toy a try. First off it's not going to do all he claims it can do, but for the price I think you'll have lots of fun playing with it. Some of the complaint for this Rovio tech toy are, The video is bad in low lit rooms, audio sometimes doesn't work, battery life is short, camera position is too low and problems with the Rovio will not dock with its charging station.

But, as a tech toys you and the kids will have many hours of fun watching this rover roll from room to room. Overall rating I give to this cool little tech toy is: 3 out of 5. It's a cool tech TOY! It isn't a reliable WiFi webcam.
