One problem with current robots, AIST says, is that they tend to be little more than remote-controlled devices. Another is that getting beyond that evolutionary stage tends to take a lot of cash."

Linux Devices reports "AOL this week extended its Open
AIM initiative to include support for AIM Bots, location-based
services, and PC-to-PC voice calling. The updated SDK also now includes
support for developers targeting Linux, Windows Mobile, Mac OS X, and

Apart from the hand crank on the side it looks and behaves much like any other laptop on the market. The big difference is the price.
At $100 (85, £58), this notebook computer, the prototype of which was unveiled on Wednesday in Tunis, costs about a 10th of the price of the average open-market model.
