speachless...

On one hand it looks stupid and clunky (as a phone companion).
But on the other hand this is pretty powerfull like a more polished and futuristic Amazon Echo.
It's also funny how the robot is named honey (Chobits alert!) and just wants to replace a dear one (wife / housband --> Futurama lovebots horror story!). Even the ad is mostly targeted at single men, and if they aren't that, they are either old people or hot young women (cutness alert!). They deliberately skip middle aged people, because they are mostly married with KIDS.
Yes, where is our society going? :/

    How is this any different than the existing Galaxy Beam 2? Other than have hands and can walk. Is it really useful? Make you look like an idiot talking to a doll on your face.

        Anonymous, 06 Oct 2015Literally an android. This is too much to advertise as robo... moreThe projector is laser based 'LBS' (Laser Beam Scanning) PicoP technology, the best there is. It's the same tech that Sony chose for it's soon to be released MPCL1 pico projector. It's HD (high definition) with a 1920 x 720p resolution. It's focus-free (automatic focus) and can make a screen size 120 inches. What more do you want from a minature projector?

                        I would call this a robot phone with so many practical functions. This is better than those who owned smartphone that isn't smart at all. :D

                          Jeez! Look at the guy taking it next to his ear.
                          Like hes playing with his action man doll. Looks very very stupid.

                          Only the projector looks nice, thats it.

                            It's so cute!

                              Literally an android. This is too much to advertise as robot smartphone. Should be renamed as personal assistant or something. Very handy but quite low quality. The image from the projector, the videos are all too low-res.

                                So, the best way to start rolling out "I , Robot" and introduce humanoids to customers is to hybrid them with smartphones.
                                BTW, this is the most truly literally Android smartphone I have ever seen :D

                                      Actually looks cool. It's weird that it's a robot-phone, but it's kind of an interesting technology
