World, meet Roomba
by John Keys
I have seen the future and it sucks. It also sweeps and removes dust and pieces of dirt. Its name is Roomba. Tomorrow, at roughly 7:00 A.M. eastern time, iRobot, makers of the ill-fated My Real Baby (which was manufactured in partnership with Hasbro) will announce and release what may be the world's first useful and affordable robot. And what, you may ask, does this $199.95 wonder do? It cleans floors, of course.
If this cordless, sub-$200 floor-cleaning robot really works as advertised, Roomba could be the first consumer robot that actually does something (please, Sony, I love the AIBO, but it really doesn't do anything) and is widely adopted by consumers around the world.

I love this little vacuum. iRobot has put out a few more models and some of the new ones are just great with the auto charge station and the roomba vacuum that will start on it's own. What a great product. I would like to see more thing like this. The new Honda robot or sony robot would be great if the price would drop.
