Tux Droid : your smart companion!

[emewify]

@murderslastcrow windows? who uses that?!

[ekushey]

They are not available any more. :(

[KevinCarey]

why is it so evil looking



[flohuels]

@KevinCarey it only looks evil if you flash it with proprietary software i think...

[WierToTheStra]

could anyone provide me with the name of the song playing through 3:00 till the end? Thanks.

[fireicer]

this looks awesome looks like he been out a while and i only just found out about him lol 

[krisstc]

In software requirements is "A Linux compatible PC or laptop". So that means it doesn't work with Windows? :(

[puppett11]

100 euros for this crap?!

Its almost like fucking linux!

BUt a bit more usefull.

[Dubbzee702]

i feel sorry for ditching linux (and getting a hackintosh) hope this tux robot will not kill me in my sleep 0_o

[jsx6674]

EL PINGUINO BONAIS YA HABLA

[IWasKanBesserenNom]

let a computer talk is not the problem, getting a usefull voice-to-speech software, that is a real problem... When you are on Linux its nearly not makeable...

[822XGamer]

Thats sweeet!

[johnfactorial]

It's a Persocom!

[kamaboko1]

Hmm...this is so overly geeky it screams seek psychotherapy. Please, get outside more often.

[Abdullu]

Is Tux Droid already self-hosting?

[munsking]

i dont want one... I NEED ONE!

[webnull]

I must have it :D :D

[sdstorm]

Spooky eyes!

[steelbath66]

would that work with linux under virtual machine.....

[SheriiKitty]

I want one.. but I have vista so it wouldnt probably work

[SheisseFicken]

haha! you got vista you moron! oh crap, i got one too. damnit! vista sucks!

[SheriiKitty]

HA! ..true. ..well, I don't even have vista anymore XD

[TheBCChannel]

I like the Tux Droid!

And this video explains the functions very well.

Tux Droid is a nice geek-toy.

[GrayFoxUA]

yay i love tux

[angusm33]

behold the awesomeness of linux:

[ErnieJenkins10]

r they only available in the US?????r they available in the UK?????????

[mariafox888]

[bjeans321]

[HunterPreadator]

wow! Que meneo!

Joshua

[Gato303co]

Tux so cute that doll is so adorable ;)

By the way he is being used with Ubuntu and GaIM instant messenger :D

[jant987]

yoooo quiero uno por favoooooooor!!!

[linuxrodo]

nice droid ,where can got one like this ?

[Biglele208]

i GOTTA HET THAT!!!!!

[uea978]

It reminds me Teddy in the film A.I. Wouldn't know if I would want a supertoy in a completely messed up world.

[psassaki]

I live in Brazil, so it's really expensive to import it :'(

100 euros + 60% of taxes + shipping.

You should start shipping it on US, because it's cheapper to import from there, and many people there will buy it.

[hotroddude]

thinkgeek (dot) com sells these and ships to the US. they're $99.99

[hotroddude]

nevermind my comment, i was replying to

psassaki... i didnt see the first line saying they're from brazil. i saw " you should start shipping it on US " and figured id suggest thinkgeek.

[psassaki]

no problem :)

i'm thinking about travel to us or england and also buy it.

[alexthegamer1]

I want one :)

After I build my own computer, hopefully I will have enough money for it.

[nerfherders123]

let's get several hundred of these, give them red eyes and have them storm into Bill Gate's house with Linux Live CDs on their heads

[waxy2k1]

This droid its pretty cool but.

Why does tux talk like kermit the frog?

Duuuude, please take your thinking seriously, this is TUX ,, dude, TUUUX,!!! your giving life to, the least you can do is give it a God like voice.

[aiklarung]

the voice is TTS sinthetized.

[SilasX]

Another question: why don't you make these guys walk? It doesn't have to be advanced: a lot of wind-up toys do well with a short-leg waddle. It would look cute and significantly increase the possibilities. Thoughts?

[kysoh]

Hi,

we've chosen not to let Tux Droid walk. It was too risky: generally Tux Droid is on a desk or a table. We wanted to avoid that it falls down.

Concerning Dutch, Tux Droid speaks Belgian Dutch and Dutch!

[killuthird]

I'm thinking of getting one for my gf,since she saw ubuntu on my pc and switched over,she sees tux as this ultra cute penguin.How much is one, and do you ship to Romania?

[ManVsSelf]

its not sinister enough

[marco1meijer]

I want one, I want one

Can he speak Dutch?

He's cool!

Guess there is no Windows version.

Doesn't matter, I'll probably get a Linux-PS3 soon.

Can he speak Dutch?

[SilasX]

Present for you wife?

Linux users ... who would buy this robot ... have wives?

Since when?

[emptycorp]

Since bill gates became the richest man in the world. Geeks make the most money these days, high school jocks work at grocery stores.

[Kington99]

And people who make more money are more likely to be married?

exactly where is your argument going?

[kysoh]

Tux Droid is indeed wireless. The only think connected to your laptop is a dongle : the dongle is like a fish and is connected through a USB.

The Tux Droid itself comes with siftwares that let you be connected to the PC without being in front of it. Such as a Text-to-speech in more than 10 languages.

[xxxKLLxxx]

Can this thing do anything but spinning around and clapping its wings? Can it move at all? And how the hell am I supposed to keep that little fish plugged into my laptop? Laptop is not supposed to have stuff plugged into it. This tux should be bluetooth or wireles or something.

[sidvizioso]

cool

[macri12345]

wow Thomas is a persistent little prick... ugghhh concert tickets ughhhhh im a control freak gnaarrr.

[angelxcutiexlolzx]

wow i have to have one

[Nuotykis]

no... no it cant be...... the vision is true!! TUX DROIDS WILL BECOME UNSTOPPABLE AND THEY WILL DESTROY THE WORLD!!!!!! omg omg omg!!! the manufraction must be stoped! i feel sad for the owners of tux droids cuz one day they will turn against us theyre creators and they will assasinate us when we sleep!!!! AAAAHAHAA!

!!!!

[DRoBeR]

Di que sí. xD

[wolfmankurd]

Fuck the Tux-droid people I hate them so much. Why you ask?

Here's the pricing:

US: $99

UK: $180

That's just unacceptable, I was excited about this especially when I heard the $99 price tag. Didn't realise that I would be charged double.

[Tzoni]

People in UK dont go to macdonalds so often so im sure they can pay a little extra

[DRoBeR]

99€ (euros) or $99 ???

THAT is f-ing unacceptable!

Why should I pay the double of a USAian??

[PissedJelly]

Nice, swedish

[yopmevideos]

il a dit bonjour le monde haha

[ZanTTka]

Bonjour les moules ? c'est quoi cette connerie sans nom pour linuxien intégriste 0_0

[LocutusDiBorg]

Awesome!

[Iamsdrich]

I

need

one

[Galgalid]

OMG! Awesome! Can't we use this to assasinate Steve Ballmer? ;) We need a Tuxdroid, a ninja-suit and a sniper-rifle!

Do it, and get a free cookie :D

[SicApathy]

Ha ha thats wierd. Very nice.
