Clever Little Vacuum Cleaner
Matsushita has just given a preview demo of their new smart vacuum cleaner. Though it still crashes into chair legs and leaves a lot of space unswept, the developers are confident their product will reach maturity within their 2/3 years shipping deadline. The thing is still quite expensive and cost a fortune to develop, so I hope they know what they are doing! Moscow Times - Vacuum Cleaners Becoming Smarter
