I'm really not sure what the hell this is and who (apart from maybe me) would buy it. It's sort of like a noise, high-tech Matmos toy. Wikipedia describes it as:
a personal electronics device combining music functions with robotic dancing.which is a little dry perhaps for what must be one of the weirdest ideas ever. It's an MP3 player that, erm, dances. Not really portable, practical or even that pretty, one can't but help but wonder what the meeting was like when some senior Sony execs approved this. But it's kinda-cute and I bet my cat would like it. Actually scratch that, George the cat would ignore it and go sleep in a cupboard somewhere, as is his want.
The official website for it doesn't seem to work for me, but there's a fan site called Rolly.tv with lots of info except where to buy the bloody thing.
