Nabaztag WiFi Smart Rabbit
For the wife who likes cuddly rabbits (even the tech kind), ThinkGeek offers up the imported Nabaztag WiFi Smart Rabbit. This bunny can move his ears, play music, talk and whistle all while reading your better half her RSS feeds, teaching her Tai Chi, telling her the weather or speaking out the time at the top of each hour. This rabbit does all of this and more wirelessly, pulling down its data from wireless WiFi 802.11b/g locations. Nabaztag can even marry another Nabaztag nearby, mimicking its spouse’s movements and actions. ThinkGeek.com
