Rovio is the new Mobile WebCam from WowWee. Making use of your wireless local network, Rovio can be accessed from any web browser, anywhere, and let you check in on your home or office, or whatever you need to check up on. And since it's mobile you can drive it about, getting a different view of things, up close and personal if you want.

hey nice gadget,but how long does the battery last on a single charge? has it given you any problems? I'm thinking about buying one it's very expensive....thanks for any help:)

I get about 1 to 1.5 hours per charge, depending on how much I ask it to do.

Loved the plot. :)

The victory music when Rovio docks successfully is hilarious, it's like an old black and white movie.

How do you get it to navigate? Paths don't work, or random? I tried to navigate to a path but either does not go there, or is random. If it does go to a path it goes miles out of it's way to get there, not stright like yours, but love Rovio, just hope new Firmware will be able to save and use paths.
