Rovio can only manuver itself in one room? And does the docking station have to be in the same room with Rovio, in order for it to charge?

I have been excited about this ever since it was anounced at CES. September is sooo long away!

Looks good. Just what I've been looking for to complement my fixed home surveillance camera. Whats the battery life? No subscription fees right?

Thanks for the comments. We will pass along your questions to WowWee. I will say that all the demo units ran for quite a bit of time before needing to recharge. Also, we haven't heard any mention of a subscription fee. (unlike another robot company's product :) From what WowWee showed at CES, Rovio is the server and directly hosts the webpage you see in the demo. You just connect it to your WiFi hub, set up passwords, etc. and then can access it over the Internet.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sold.
