Miuro: Music Robot
Are you tired of having to crank up the volume of your stereo or computer just so you can hear your music from wherever you are in the house? Then the Miuro is the gadget for you. Miuro is fondly called the music robot and it promises to add a new dimension to your listening pleasure.
Shaped like an egg, it is 14 inches long and comes in white, black, yellow, and red. Miuro is made by ZMP Inc. in cooperation with Kenwood – giving you the assurance of high quality sound.
So what makes Miuro better than other music players? Aside from the fact that it can roll around and groove on its own, it can stream music wirelessly from the PC. It can also be connected to your iPod. What I really like about this gadget is that it is equipped with a camera, a sensor, and a remote. These things allow the user to “beckon” to the Miuro wherever he is (within range of course) and it will come to him – cleverly avoiding obstacles in its way.
It doesn’t stop at that though - once it locates the user, the Miuro positions itself so that it will be at the optimal distance for the best sound quality. THEN, it moves around to the beat of the music! Now, all that is hard to beat!
So how much does this thing cost? Prepare about $1000 (maybe a little under it).

I just discovered your blog, quite interessting i admit! The Miuro is quandi fun, yes, and the “tracking” function is very nice. But a disturbing issue is its appereance : it looks like so much a Sony Rolly! But yes, a nice speaker/system/whatever, I admit.
[...] I have always loved variety. Whatever it may be, having the same set of choices time and again makes me feel bored after a while. Then I realized, sometimes, I get a yearning for the old set of choices. Sometimes, the “old” things just can’t be beat. [...]
I didn’t notice the resemblance till you mentioned it - thanks!
