Spykee the WiFi Spy Robot
is an excellent ambassador for robot-kind. He'll watch your house while you're away and alert you via email if something's amiss. He'll even snap a picture of an intruder and send it to you at work. He plays MP3s, has a webcam for an eye and even allows for two-way communication via VoIP.Download this episode now
