iRobot ConnectR combines the latest Internet communications with robot technology, providing you with a virtual opportunity to visit with loved ones, relatives and pets anytime you wish – seeing, hearing and interacting with them in their home as if you were there in person.

ConnectR enables real-time virtual visits over the Internet. Equipped with high-quality audio and a video camera, the robot is located on-site in the home of the “host” party. Using a computer keyboard, mouse or joystick, the remote (“visiting”) party can drive the robot around and interact with those on-site, virtually participating in activities at home or wherever the device is located (for example, in the home of your grandchildren). The on-site host party can also direct the robot’s movements with a remote control.

The user-friendly interface lets you connect to and control the robot from any Windows XP-enabled PC. Using a computer keyboard, mouse or joystick, you can drive ConnectR around in any direction to see, hear and interact with whomever you want. The people at home can also use the included remote control to “call” out and connect to you while you are away so that you are always in the loop.

I can’t wait to get mine!

iRobot Value Pack Offer: Buy a Scooba and Roomba and get a Dirt Dog Free! Expires 12.31.08

Why do I love Roomba? Let me count the dust bunnies. Seriously, so many reasons, but my favorite is the fact that Roomba gets the job done better than I do sneaking under the bed to get the dust bunnies and finding all those nasty tidbits hiding along the baseboards. With a cat in the house, Roomba is my new best friend.

The iRobot Romba 570 vacuum cleaning robot is the latest in a series of Roomba robotic devices that help you around the house with your chores. Roomba 570 is the sleekest design yet with it’s cool looking black finish and flatter design.

That’s not all. All cleaning features are improved over the Roomba predessors and you can control your Roomba 570 with the Wirelss Command Center.

It’s so effiicient that it automatically returns itself to the self-charging Home Base when YOUR chores are done! So you don’t have to worry…you can cook in the kitchen or write in your blog without thinking about the vacuuming.

What will you do with all your new free time?

How cool is this? Get your Roomba on.
