This little droid does everything but holograms

Rolling out from Nikko Home Electronics is the R2-D2 DVD Projector.

It projects DVDs up to an 80 inch width onto walls or ceilings with apparently really good image quality. "Artoo" also boasts an iPod port so you can play music through him, as well as playing standard music CDs. He also moves around with motorized wheels in his legs, and you control it all with a remote control shaped like the Millennium Falcon. He may not be able to project real holograms and he probably doesn't have any stolen plans for the Death Star inside him (or maybe he does, who knows?) but this still seems like a pretty snazzy toy for any Star Wars fan willing to pay $2000 for it. Thanks to "Weird" Ed for this great find and sending it this way!

This goes on the list of "Top Ten Things Phil Will Buy When He Wins The Lottery"!

Very cool!

Enjoyed the rants, by the way.
