rovio

WowWee’s website for their new Rovio Mobile Webcam device is now up and running. If you’re not familiar with the Rovio (like myself), it’s best described as a Wi-Fi enabled webcam on wheels. As the website declares, the Rovio “lets you see, speak, and hear from anywhere in the world… as if you were right there in the room.”

The premise is certainly exciting – heck I’d consider getting this roving webcam simply to watch and monitor my dog while I’m at work!  The specs are as follows:

  • rovio 2 Rechargeable NiMH battery pack
  • Charging dock with built-in TrueTrack beacon
  • 3x wheel motors
  • 3x omnidirectional wheels
  • 1 camera motor
  • 1 VGA CMOS sensor
  • LED illumination
  • 1 speaker
  • 1 built-in microphone
  • USB connectivity
  • Wi-Fi connectivity

Now according to SlashGear, the initial Rovio stock is sold out so if you’re thinking about getting this device for the holiday season, you better get your order in now. You can purchase the Rovio in North America at the following retailers:
