iRobot new products confirmed! Looj and Connectr on 9/27!

[TheRoombaShop]

Looks like iRobot is gearing up to release their new products.. take a look at this page: http://www.irobot.com/sp.cfm?pageid=95

The Looj and ConnectR, We know what the Looj is, but from the name ConnectR is a "Virtual Visiting Robot" I suspect it's some sort of security or telepresence robot? Can't tell yet, they're still working on the website!

Edit: iRobot corrected the page, but here are a couple of screenshots with the new information before it was removed:






Thanks, TheRoombaShop!

Thanks for the Heads Up! I positioned my mouse over the ConnectR place, and I assume they copied the Verro's information. It says what you said, but below that, it mimics Verro's pool highlights. Probably just to fill space.

Yea, looks like they cut'n pasted the text from the pool cleaning product into it.. should be interesting!

Thanks, TheRoombaShop!

Well dang it, they took those changes off... We'll, at least we know the name of the new product!

Here is some more info on the ConnectR that I found..

Hmm, not so impressive...

Gutter cleaner might be quite useful, but I doubt it will be well received.

I am all excited to know more about "ConnectR"!

Do you think "virtual visting" could mean its a video camera that can be linked between to locations and have video confrencing?

If you look at the video in the link given by The Roomba Shop above, (the wazi wazi one) it has a link to Spykee.

I am assuming it might be something like that one - or at least hope so as it would be pretty cool.

I am expecting something like Spykee as well but more of a serious role than a mere toy. Lets keep fingers cross for Sept. 27, 2007!!!
